The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the files in a specific folder is to set up an FTP account and to put website content access limits concerning your web space. In case you use the services of a web developer, for example, they will not gain access to any other content or any sensitive info within your hosting account. You can also set up separate FTP accounts to maintain a number of websites created with a desktop web design application such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published on the web and then edited using an FTP account that has access to its own site folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible provided that you’re able to set up and administer your FTP accounts with ease.

FTP Manager in Hosting

If you open a hosting account with our company, you’ll receive access to the stunningly powerful FTP Manager tool, that’s an integral part of our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The tool offers several different options, aside from the ability to create or delete FTP accounts. You will be able to view the access path associated with each account and by clicking on it, you can alter it so that the account in question will access a different directory. Auto-config files are available for download too, so you will not have to set up anything manually – you can just download the respective file for CyberDuck, Core FTP or FileZilla and install it on your computer system. To make the administration easier, the FTP Manager will allow you to view all the accounts that you’ve created in alphabetical order, based on either the access path or the username.

FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you open a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you’ll be able to make use of various features that are available in the FTP Manager section of our avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel.

A list of all the FTP accounts that you have created will be available in the same section as well and, for the sake of convenience, you can sort them by access path or username in descending or ascending order, so you’ll be able to quickly find the account that you need. Modifying the access path for an active account is as simple as clicking on it and selecting the new path, while removing an account or changing its password requires one single mouse click as well. Using the FTP Manager, you can also make use of configuration files for famous desktop FTP client programs like FileZilla and CyberDuck.
