The easiest way to grant a third-party access to the files in a specific folder is to set up an FTP account and to set website content access limits concerning your web hosting space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not be provided with access to any other content or any sensitive info within your hosting account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to maintain different websites created with a desktop web design app such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each site can be published on the World Wide Web and then edited using an FTP account that has access to its very own website folder on the server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you’re able to set up and manage your FTP accounts without any hassle.
FTP Manager in Cloud Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each of our cloud hosting plans, offers a function-loaded FTP Manager that will grant you complete control over all FTP accounts within your hosting account. Creating or removing an account takes literally only a single mouse click and all the accounts that you’ve got at a particular moment will be displayed alphabetically, so you can easily find the one that you want. You will also be able to check what folder an account can access and by clicking on it, you can change it. If you want to connect to your web hosting space using an FTP client program such as FileZilla or Core FTP, you can download an auto-config file for any of the FTP accounts and run it on your computer – the account in question will be set up without you needing to do anything manually on your end. Moreover, you can see the full list of all the domains or subdomains which you are able to use.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated server plans come bundled with the feature-rich Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which includes our FTP Manager tool. It will give you all the options that you may need in order to manage your FTP accounts without hassle from a single place. It takes one single click of the mouse to set up or to remove an account and, with two more mouse clicks, you can update the folder that can be accessed by this account. In case you create a vast number of accounts, you can define how many of them will be displayed on one page and whether they should be listed in descending or ascending order based on their usernames and access paths. Downloadable auto-configuration files will permit you to configure a program such as FileZilla or Core FTP to access any of your FTP accounts without the need to do anything manually on your end.
