How to create an additional ftp account - 2006/07/05 15:04
An FTP account creates a folder on the public_html level of your site that allows external users that know the password to upload and download files from that location. Change your password if you think that your account is being used incorrectly.
Note: Please be aware that all users with the correct password will be able to add, edit, and delete files from the directory that you specify for the FTP account, and any directories within the stated directory.
To add an FTP account:
Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
Click on the FTP Accounts link.
Click on the Add Account link.
Enter the name of the FTP account in the Login field and the password for the account in the Password field.
Enter the path to the directory to which this FTP account has access.
Warning: If you enter the top-level of the web site by entering a slash (/), all users with the correct password will be able to add, edit, and delete all files on your site. It is advisable to limit an FTP account to a smaller section of your web site by first creating a folder for the account to use.
Click on the Create button.
Downloading FTP access logs:
Downloading an FTP log is useful for monitoring exactly what FTP actions have occurred on your domain such as downloading or uploading files, deleting files, etc.
Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
Click on the FTP Accounts link.
Click on one of the URLs listed at the bottom of the window, or copy and paste that URL into an FTP client application.
Changing an FTP Account password:
It is a good idea to regularly change your password. You should always change your password if you think someone else has access to your FTP account that is not supposed to have access.
Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
Click on the FTP Accounts link.
Click on the Change Password button.
Enter the new password in the New Password field.
Click on the Change button.
To delete an ftp account:
Deleting an FTP account is as simple as creating as creating the account. Deleting the account does not delete the folder or its contents, but it does prevent anyone from accessing that folder through FTP.
Click on the Ftp Manager button on the home page.
Click on the FTP Accounts link.
Click on the Delete button.
