The easiest way to provide a third-party with access to the web files in a given directory is to set up an FTP account and to specify website content access restrictions with regard to your web space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for instance, they won’t receive access to any other files or any sensitive info in your hosting account. You can also set up multiple FTP accounts to maintain different sites created with a desktop web design app like FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each Internet site can be published on the World Wide Web and subsequently updated using an FTP account with access to its very own site folder on the server. All these things will be possible provided that you’re able to create and administer your FTP accounts easily.
FTP Manager in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each of our Linux cloud hosting, offers a multifunction FTP Manager that will give you total control over all FTP accounts within your web hosting account. Setting up or removing an account takes literally just a single click and all the accounts that you’ve got at any given time will be listed in alphabetical order, so you can swiftly locate the one that you need. You’ll also be able to check what directory an account can access and by clicking it, you can change it. In case you’d like to access your web hosting space using an FTP application like Core FTP or FileZilla, you can download an auto-configuration file for any of the FTP accounts and run it on your PC – that account will be set up without you needing to do anything manually yourself. What’s more, you can view a list of all the domains or subdomains which you are able to use.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to take advantage of different features that are available in the FTP Manager section of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. You can create a brand new FTP account and define which directory it will access with just a couple of clicks of the mouse through an easy-to-use GUI. A list of all the accounts that you have created will be displayed in the exact same section as well and, for convenience’s sake, you can arrange them by access path or username in descending or ascending order, so you’ll be able to swiftly locate the account that you want. Modifying the access path for an active account is as easy as clicking on it and selecting the new path, whereas deleting an account or changing its password requires one single mouse click as well. With the FTP Manager, you can also make use of configuration files for popular desktop FTP apps like CyberDuck and FileZilla.
