Discover what an FTP Manager is and why it's beneficial to get one when setting up a website.
The simplest way to provide a third-party with access to the web files in a specific directory is to create an FTP account and to specify content access restrictions concerning your hosting space. In case you use the services of a web designer, for instance, they will not receive access to any other files or any private information within your hosting account. You can also use multiple FTP accounts to maintain a number of Internet sites created with a desktop web design app such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage – each Internet site can be published and then edited using an FTP account that has access to its very own domain folder on the server. All these things will be possible provided that you're able to set up and manage your FTP accounts without any effort.
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each of our Linux web hosting, offers a function-loaded FTP Manager that will give you complete control over all FTP accounts within your web hosting account. Creating or deleting an account requires literally just one single mouse click and all the accounts that you've got at a given time will be listed alphabetically, so you can easily find the one that you need. You'll also be able to check what directory an account can access and by clicking on it, you can change it. In case you would like to access your web hosting space using an FTP client such as Core FTP or FileZilla, you can download an auto-configuration file for any of the FTP accounts and install it on your computer – that account will be configured without you needing to do anything manually yourself. In addition, you can see the full list of all the domains or subdomains that you are able to use.
If you open a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will be able to make use of various features that are accessible in the FTP Manager section of our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can create a new FTP account and select what directory it will access with just a couple of mouse clicks through an easy-to-navigate interface. A list of all the accounts that you've created will be available in the very same section too and, for convenience's sake, you can arrange them by access path or username in descending or ascending order, so you'll be able to swiftly locate the account that you want. Changing the path for an active account is as simple as clicking on it and selecting the new path, while deleting an account or editing its password requires one click of the mouse as well. With the FTP Manager, you can also use configuration files for popular desktop clients like FileZilla and CyberDuck.
