The easiest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a certain folder is to set up an FTP account and to specify website content access restrictions with regard to your web space. If you use the services of a web developer, for example, they won’t be granted access to any other content or any sensitive information within your hosting account. You can also set up separate FTP accounts to run a number of Internet sites created with a desktop web design app such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each website can be published on the Internet and then edited using an FTP account with access to its very own website folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you’re able to set up and manage your FTP accounts without any effort.
FTP Manager in Hosting
If you open a hosting account with our company, you’ll obtain access to the very powerful FTP Manager tool, which is included in our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The tool offers several different options, besides the possibility to create or delete FTP accounts. You will be able to see the access path for each account and by clicking on it, you can change it so that the account will access a separate directory. Auto-config files are available for download too, so you won’t need to set up anything manually – you can simply download the given file for FileZilla, CyberDuck or Core FTP and run it on your computer system. To make the administration itself easier, the FTP Manager will allow you to see all the FTP accounts that you’ve created in alphabetical order, based on either the username or the access path.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server packages come with the functionality-loaded Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which contains our FTP Manager tool. It will provide you with all the features that you might need to administer your FTP accounts without any hassle from one single location. It takes a single mouse click to set up or to remove an FTP account and, with 2 more clicks, you can update the directory that this account can connect to. If you set up many FTP accounts, you can define how many of them will be displayed on one page and whether they should be listed in ascending or descending order on the basis of their access paths and usernames. Downloadable auto-configuration files will enable you to configure an FTP application like Core FTP or FileZilla to access any of your accounts without having to do anything manually on your end.
