The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the web files in a specific directory is to set up an FTP account and to set content access limits in regards to your hosting space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not receive access to any other content or any sensitive details in your hosting account. You can also create multiple FTP accounts to maintain a number of Internet sites built with a desktop web design application such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published and later updated using an FTP account with access to its own website folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible provided that you’re able to set up and administer your FTP accounts without effort.
FTP Manager in Cloud Website Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all our cloud website hosting, offers a multifunctional FTP Manager that will give you total control over all FTP accounts within your hosting account. Setting up or deleting an account takes literally just a click and all the accounts that you’ve got at a given time will be listed alphabetically, so you can effortlessly find the one that you need. You will also be able to see what directory an account can access and by clicking it, you can change it. In case you want to connect to your web space using an FTP client app such as FileZilla or Core FTP, you can download an auto-configuration file for any of the FTP accounts and install it on your PC – the account in question will be configured without you having to do anything manually on your end. Furthermore, you can see a list of all the domains or subdomains which you can use.
FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered through the easy-to-use, tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. One of its sections – the FTP Manager, is dedicated to administering your FTP accounts and all of the things associated with them, so you can manage all the accounts quickly and effortlessly. It’ll take a click to set up a brand new account, to remove an active one or simply to edit its password. You can also view the full list of all your FTP accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for the sake of convenience, you can sort them in alphabetical order – ascending or descending, either by their access path or by username. Changing the path for a certain account is also extremely easy – you simply need to click on it and choose the new directory in the pop-up that will appear, so you won’t have to create a brand-new account if you simply need to define what website files an existing one can access. You can also take advantage of auto-configuration files for popular FTP applications such as FileZilla and Core FTP.
