The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the web files in a given folder is to set up an FTP account and to put content access limits concerning your hosting space. If you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not get access to any other files or any sensitive details within your account. You can also set up 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 launched online and subsequently modified using an FTP account that has access to its very own domain name folder on the server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you’re able to set up and administer your FTP accounts without efforts.

FTP Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all our Linux cloud web hosting, offers a function-loaded FTP Manager tool that will give you total control over all FTP accounts within your hosting account. Creating or removing an account takes literally only a click and all the accounts that you have at a given time will be listed alphabetically, so you can easily find the one that you need. You’ll also be able to see what folder a certain account can access and by clicking it, you can change it. In case you’d like to access your web hosting space using an FTP application like Core FTP or FileZilla, you can download an auto-configuration file for any of the FTP accounts and run it on your PC – that account will be set up without you needing to do anything manually yourself. Furthermore, you can see the complete list of all the domains or subdomains that you are able to use.

FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server configurations are administered from the user-friendly, custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. One of its sections, the FTP Manager, is dedicated to administering your FTP accounts and all of the things related to them, so you can administer all the accounts quickly and easily. It will take one single mouse click to create a brand new account, to remove an active one or simply to edit its password. You can also see the complete list of all your FTP accounts in this Control Panel section and, for the sake of convenience, you can sort them in alphabetical order – descending or ascending, either by username or by their access path. Changing the path for a certain account is also incredibly easy – you will only need to click on it and pick the new folder in the pop-up window that will show up, so you won’t need to set up a whole new FTP account if you simply wish to define what web files an existing account can access. You can also take advantage of auto-config files for famous FTP apps such as FileZilla and Core FTP.
