The simplest way to provide a third-party with access to the files in a particular folder is to create an FTP account and to specify website content access limits regarding your web hosting space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for instance, they won’t have access to any other content or any sensitive data in your hosting account. You can also set up separate FTP accounts to manage different sites created with a desktop web design application such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be launched online and later updated using an FTP account that has access to its very own domain name folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible provided that you are able to create and manage your FTP accounts in a seamless way.
FTP Manager in Shared Hosting
When you you open a shared hosting account with our company, you’ll obtain access to the very powerful FTP Manager, that is included in our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The tool offers a number of different options, apart from the ability to set up or delete FTP accounts. You will be able to check the access path associated with each account and by clicking it, you can change it so that the account in question will access a different directory. Downloadable auto-config files are available too, so you will not have to configure anything manually – you can just download the particular file for CyberDuck, Core FTP or FileZilla and run it on your computer. To make the management itself simpler, the FTP Manager will allow you to see all the accounts that you have set up in alphabetical order, based on either the access path or the username.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server plans come bundled with the multi-function Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which contains our FTP Manager software tool. It will give you all the controls that you may need to manage your FTP accounts seamlessly from a single place. It takes one click to set up or to remove an account and, with 2 more clicks, you can change the folder that this account can connect to. In case you create a large number of FTP accounts, you can decide how many of them will be shown on one page and whether they should be listed in descending or ascending order based on their access paths and usernames. Downloadable auto-config files will allow you to configure a client like Core FTP or FileZilla to access any of your accounts without you having to do anything manually on your end.
