The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the files in a given folder is to set up an FTP account and to set content access limits in regard to your web hosting space. If you use the services of a web designer, for example, they won’t get access to any other content or any private data within your account. You can also create separate FTP accounts to run a number of sites built with a desktop web design app like Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published online and later edited using an FTP account with access to its very own domain folder on the server. All these things will be possible as long as you are able to create and administer your FTP accounts without effort.
FTP Manager in Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each of our Linux website hosting, offers a multifunction FTP Manager that will give you full control over all FTP accounts in your web hosting account. Setting up or removing an account requires literally just a single click of the mouse and all the accounts that you have at any particular moment will be listed alphabetically, so you can swiftly locate the one that you need. You will also be able to see what folder a given account can connect to and by clicking it, you can change it. If you’d like to access your web space using an FTP client application like Core FTP or FileZilla, you can download an auto-configuration file for any of the FTP accounts and run it on your personal computer – the account in question will be configured without you having to do anything manually yourself. Moreover, you can see the complete list of all the domains or sub-domains which you’re able to use.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to take advantage of different options that are available in the FTP Manager section of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. You can set up a new FTP account and specify what directory it will access with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via a simple-to-work-with GUI. A list of all the accounts that you have set up will be available in the same section too and, for the sake of convenience, you can arrange them by username or access path in descending or ascending order, so you’ll be able to quickly find the FTP account that you need. Modifying the access path for an existing account is as easy as clicking on it and choosing the new path, while removing an account or updating its password requires one click too. Using the FTP Manager, you can also download config files for commonly used desktop FTP programs such as CyberDuck and FileZilla.
