The simplest way to provide a third-party with access to the files in a given directory is to create an FTP account and to put website content access limits in regards to your hosting space. If you use the services of a web developer, for example, they won’t get access to any other content or any sensitive data in your hosting account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to manage a number of websites built with a desktop web design application such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each website can be launched online and then modified using an FTP account with access to its own domain folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible as long as you’re able to create and administer your FTP accounts without hassles.
FTP Manager in Web Hosting
If you open a web hosting account with us, you’ll have access to the really powerful FTP Manager tool, which is an essential part of our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The tool offers a number of different options, besides the ability to set up or delete FTP accounts. You’ll be able to view the access path associated with each account and by clicking it, you can alter it so that the account will access a different folder. Auto-config files are available for download as well, so you will not need to set up anything manually – you can just download the specific file for CyberDuck, FileZilla or Core FTP and install it on your computer. To make the management itself simpler, the FTP Manager will allow you to see all the accounts that you’ve set up in alphabetical order, on the basis of either the username or the access path.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you open a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to use various options that are accessible in the FTP Manager section of our next-generation Hepsia Control Panel. You can set up a new FTP account and choose what folder it will have access to with just a few mouse clicks through a simple-to-work-with GUI. A list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve got will be displayed in the same section as well and, for the sake of convenience, you can sort them by access path or username in descending or ascending order, so you’ll be able to easily find the FTP account that you want. Modifying the path for an existing FTP account is as easy as clicking on it and selecting the new path, whereas removing an account or updating its password requires one single click too. With the FTP Manager, you can also use config files for widely used desktop software programs such as CyberDuck and FileZilla.
