The easiest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a specific folder is to set up an FTP account and to put website content access limits concerning your web hosting space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for example, they will not be provided with access to any other files or any personal details within your account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to manage a number of Internet sites built with a desktop web design application such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published on the Internet and then modified using an FTP account that has access to its very own domain folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible provided that you are able to create and manage your FTP accounts with ease.
FTP Manager in Web Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each of our Linux web hosting service, offers a multifunctional FTP Manager that will grant you complete control over all FTP accounts within your web hosting account. Setting up or deleting an account takes literally just a single mouse click and all the accounts that you have at any given moment will be displayed in alphabetical order, so you can easily find the one that you want. You’ll also be able to check what directory a particular account can connect to and by clicking it, you can change it. If you want to access your web space using an FTP client app such as Core FTP or FileZilla, you can download an auto-configuration file for any of the FTP accounts and run it on your computer – the account in question will be set up without you needing to do anything manually on your end. Besides, you can see a list of all the domains or subdomains which you can use.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered from the user-friendly, in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. One of its sections, the FTP Manager, is dedicated to managing your FTP accounts and all of the things related to them, so you can administer all the accounts quickly and seamlessly. It will take a single click of the mouse to set up a brand new account, to remove an existing one or simply to edit its password. You can also view the complete list of all your FTP accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for your convenience, you can arrange them in alphabetical order – descending or ascending, either by their access path or by username. Changing the path for an account is also really easy – you simply have to click on it and pick the new directory in the pop-up that will appear, so you won’t need to create a new FTP account if you simply want to define what files an existing one can access. You can also use auto-config files for widespread FTP apps such as FileZilla and Core FTP.
