The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the web files in a particular directory is to set up an FTP account and to put content access limits in regard to your web hosting space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for example, they will not have access to any other files or any sensitive info in your account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to manage different Internet sites built with a desktop web design application such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each site can be published and subsequently edited using an FTP account with access to its own domain folder on the hosting server. All these things will be possible on the condition that you’re able to create and administer your FTP accounts without any effort.

FTP Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

When you you open a cloud web hosting account with us, you’ll be granted access to the quite powerful FTP Manager tool, which is an essential part of our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The tool comes with a number of different options, apart from the ability to set up or delete FTP accounts. You’ll be able to check the access path associated with each account and by clicking it, you can alter it so that the account in question will access a different directory. Auto-configuration files are available for download too, so you won’t need to set up anything manually – you can just download the respective file for Core FTP, CyberDuck or FileZilla and install it on your personal computer. To make the administration itself simpler, the FTP Manager will allow you to view all the FTP accounts that you have set up in alphabetical order, on the basis of either the access path or the username.

FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to make use of various features that are accessible in the FTP Manager section of our advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can set up a new FTP account and choose which directory it will access with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via an easy-to-navigate graphical interface. A list of all the accounts that you have created will be available in the same section too and, for your convenience, you can arrange them by access path or username in ascending or descending order, so you will be able to swiftly find the FTP account that you need. Modifying the access path for an existing account is as simple as clicking on it and selecting the new path, while removing an account or updating its password requires one single click too. Using the FTP Manager, you can also download config files for famous desktop FTP client apps such as FileZilla and CyberDuck.
