The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the web files in a certain directory is to set up an FTP account and to put content access restrictions concerning your hosting space. If you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not be given access to any other files or any sensitive information within your hosting account. You can also use multiple FTP accounts to maintain a number of websites created with a desktop web design app such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each website can be published and later updated using an FTP account that has access to its own website folder on the server. All these things will be possible as long as you’re able to set up and manage your FTP accounts without effort.
FTP Manager in Hosting
All our hosting plans come with a function-loaded, yet simple-to-use FTP Manager, which will permit you to administer all the FTP accounts that you have without effort. The FTP Manager is an integral part of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel and apart from creating and removing accounts, you will be able to change the password associated with any active account with only 2 clicks of the mouse. You can modify the access level for any specific FTP account just as easily – you will just need to click on the access path associated with the account and then to choose the new directory. What’s more, you can download an auto-configuration file for various FTP clients and set up any of the FTP accounts on your personal computer simply by installing the file in question. For simpler and better management, you can sort the FTP accounts alphabetically on the basis of their access paths or their usernames.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated server packages come with the feature-rich Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which includes our FTP Manager tool. It will offer you all the features that you might require to administer your FTP accounts in a seamless manner from a single place. It takes one mouse click to create or to delete an FTP account and, with two more mouse clicks, you can update the folder that can be accessed with this account. If you set up multiple accounts, you can choose how many of them will be displayed on one page and whether they should be listed in descending or ascending order on the basis of their access paths and usernames. Downloadable auto-config files will permit you to configure an FTP app such as FileZilla or Core FTP to access any of your accounts without having to do anything manually.
