The simplest way to give a third-party access to the web files in a certain directory is to create an FTP account and to specify website content access restrictions in regards to your hosting space. In case 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 create multiple FTP accounts to maintain a number of sites built with a desktop web design app like FrontPage or Dreamweaver – each Internet site can be launched online and subsequently modified 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 easily.
