There are three ways to allow
guest users to download, upload or view files in dedicated directories of your
account:
FTP Sub-accounts
The simplest way to authorize your friends or colleagues
to work with particular directories of your account is to create FTP subaccounts.
An FTP subaccount is a combination of a username and a password, which gives
full FTP permissions to a single directory, without giving access to the root
directory, other directories or the control panel. No dedicated IP is required
for FTP subaccounts. Although each FTP subaccount has a login which is different
from yours, both have the same ID in the system.
To create a new FTP subaccount:
- Go to your control panel home.
- Click the FTP Manager icon.
- At the bottom of the page that shows, find FTP sub-accounts and
click the Add icon.
- On the next page, enter the FTP login and password that
will be used by this other user, and the directory this user will be restricted
to.
The directory must be relative to your home directory. If you leave the directory field
empty, FTP sub-users will have access to your whole home directory.
FTP subaccount traffic is a part of the Total/Summary
traffic, but you can always see how much FTP traffic has been run up by an individual
FTP subaccount by going to the FTP Manager page and clicking the Edit icon
next to the subaccount login.
