The easiest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a given directory is to set up an FTP account and to set website content access limits with regard to your 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 info within your account. You can also use multiple FTP accounts to manage a number of sites built with a desktop web design application like FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be published online and subsequently edited using an FTP account with access to its own site folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible as long as you are able to create and administer your FTP accounts effortlessly.
FTP Manager in Shared Hosting
All our shared hosting packages come with a feature-rich, yet simple-to-work-with FTP Manager tool, which will permit you to manage all the FTP accounts that you have set up without effort. The tool is an essential part of our advanced Hepsia Control Panel and aside from setting up and removing accounts, you’ll be able to edit the password for any existing account with only 2 clicks. You can modify the level of access for any specific FTP account just as easily – you will only need to click on the access path associated with the account and then to select the new folder. Also, you can download an auto-configuration file for various FTP client applications and set up any of the FTP accounts on your personal computer simply by installing that file. For easier and better control, you can arrange the FTP accounts alphabetically on the basis of their usernames or their access paths.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server plans come bundled with the functionality-packed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which contains our FTP Manager software tool. It will give you all the options that you may require to manage your FTP accounts in a seamless manner from one single location. It takes one click of the mouse to create or to delete an account and, with 2 more clicks of the mouse, you can update the folder that can be accessed by this account. If you set up many accounts, you can specify how many of them will be shown on one page and if they should be listed in descending or ascending order based on their usernames and access paths. Downloadable auto-config files will allow you to set up an FTP software program like Core FTP or FileZilla to access any of your FTP accounts without the need to do anything manually.
