The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the files in a given folder is to create an FTP account and to specify content access limits regarding your web hosting 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 within your hosting account. You can also set up separate FTP accounts to maintain different Internet sites created with a desktop web design app such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be brought online and later updated using an FTP account that has access to its own site folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you are able to create and manage your FTP accounts without any hassle.
FTP Manager in Cloud Hosting
All our cloud hosting plans include a function-packed, albeit user-friendly FTP Manager, which will allow you to administer all the FTP accounts that you have without any hassle. The FTP Manager is a part of our next-gen Hepsia hosting Control Panel and apart from creating and deleting accounts, you will be able to change the password associated with any existing account with only two mouse clicks. You can change the level of access for any given account just as easily – you only have to click on the access path associated with the account in question and then to choose the new directory. In addition, you can download an auto-configuration file for various FTP client apps and set up any of the FTP accounts on your computer simply by installing the given file. For simpler and more effective management, you can arrange the FTP accounts alphabetically based on their access paths or their usernames.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server packages come with the feature-loaded Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which contains our FTP Manager tool. It will provide you with all the options that you might require to administer your FTP accounts without effort from one place. It takes a click to set up or to delete an account and, with 2 more clicks of the mouse, you can edit the folder that this account can access. If you set up a huge number of FTP accounts, you can select how many of them will be displayed on one page and if they should be listed in descending or ascending order on the basis of their usernames and access paths. Downloadable auto-configuration files will permit you to configure an FTP client application such as FileZilla or Core FTP to access any of your accounts without the need to do anything manually on your end.
