The easiest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a certain directory is to create an FTP account and to specify website content access limits with regard to your web space. If you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not be granted access to any other files or any sensitive information within your hosting account. You can also create separate FTP accounts to manage different websites built with a desktop web design application like Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published on the Internet and later updated using an FTP account with access to its very own website folder on the server. All these things will be possible provided that you are able to set up and administer your FTP accounts with ease.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated server plans come with the multifunctional Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which includes our FTP Manager software tool. It will offer you all the controls that you may need to administer your FTP accounts without effort from a single place. It takes one mouse click to set up or to remove an account and, with two more clicks of the mouse, you can update the directory that can be accessed by this account. In case you create numerous 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 based on their usernames and access paths. Downloadable auto-config files will allow you to configure an app such as Core FTP or FileZilla to access any of your FTP accounts without you having to do anything manually on your end.
