The simplest way to grant a third-party access to the web files in a certain folder is to set up an FTP account and to set website content access restrictions regarding your web hosting space. If you use the services of a web developer, for example, they will not have access to any other files or any sensitive details within your hosting account. You can also use separate FTP accounts to maintain different websites built with a desktop web design app such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each Internet site can be launched online and then edited using an FTP account with access to its very own domain folder on the server. All these things will be possible provided that you are able to create and administer your FTP accounts with ease.

FTP Manager in Shared Hosting

When you you open a shared hosting account with us, you will have access to the rather powerful FTP Manager tool, that is included in our in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The tool offers a number of different options, apart from the ability to set up or remove FTP accounts. You’ll be able to check the access path for each account and by clicking on it, you can change it so that the account will access a different directory. Downloadable auto-configuration files are available as well, so you will not have to configure anything manually – you can just download the given file for CyberDuck, FileZilla or Core FTP and install it on your computer. To make the administration simpler, the FTP Manager will permit you to see all the accounts that you have set up in alphabetical order, on the basis of either the username or the access path.

FTP Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server configurations are managed through the easy-to-work-with, in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. One of its sections – the FTP Manager, is dedicated to managing your FTP accounts and anything related to them, so you can administer all the accounts quickly and seamlessly. It’ll take one single click to set up a brand-new FTP account, to remove an existing one or simply to edit its password. You can also see the complete list of your accounts in this section of the Control Panel and, for convenience’s sake, 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 quite easy – you only need to click on it and pick the new directory in the pop-up that will appear, so you will not need to set up a brand new account in case you simply want to define what web files an existing one can access. You can also take advantage of auto-configuration files for commonly used FTP client applications such as FileZilla and Core FTP.
