The easiest way to give a third-party access to the files in a specific directory is to create an FTP account and to specify content access limits in regards to your web hosting space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for example, they will not get access to any other files or any personal data in your web hosting account. You can also create multiple FTP accounts to manage a number of sites built with a desktop web design app such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each site can be published on the web and then modified using an FTP account that has access to its very own site folder on the server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you are able to set up and administer your FTP accounts effortlessly.

FTP Manager in Web Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all our Linux web hosting, offers a functionality-packed FTP Manager tool that will give you total control over all FTP accounts in your web hosting account. Setting up or removing an account requires literally only one click and all the accounts that you’ve got at any given time will be shown alphabetically, so you can easily find the one that you need. You’ll also be able to see what directory a particular account can access and by clicking it, you can change it. In case you wish to connect to your web space using an FTP software 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 – that account will be set up without you having to do anything manually on your end. In addition, you can see a list of all the domains or subdomains which you’re able to use.

FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server configurations are administered from the time and effort saving, in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. One of its sections – the FTP Manager, is dedicated to administering your FTP accounts and anything related to them, so you can manage all the accounts quickly and seamlessly. It will take one single mouse click to set up a brand new account, to remove an existing one or simply to edit its password. You can also see the full list of your accounts in this Control Panel section and, for your convenience, you can arrange them in alphabetical order – descending or ascending, either by username or by their access path. Changing the path for a particular account is also quite easy – you will only need to click on it and choose the new folder in the pop-up that will show up, so you will not have to set up a brand new FTP account if you simply wish to define what web files an existing account can access. You can also make use of auto-config files for widely used FTP software apps such as Core FTP and FileZilla.
