If you want to have your designer or a 3rd party FTP data to your website but don’t want to give them your main cPanel or FTP details, then you can create a “sub-FTP” account which allows them access to a specific directory within your account.
Log in to your LetsHost Client Area and click on Services > My Services
- You will see your products/services listed here.
- Click on Active beside your hosting package
- On the left, click on the link Login to cPanel
- Once in the cPanel control panel, click on the icon for FTP Accounts under the Files section
- First, create the FTP username
- Log in = a name or descriptor such as “Developer”
- Choose from the Domain dropdown the domain you want to provide access to
- As per the above the FTP username will = Developer@yourdomain.ie
- Next, set a Password for the FTP account
- You will need to set the Directory for the FTP account
- The “Directory” is where the website files will be uploaded to
- Generally, this will be public_html if you are giving access to the main domain for your account
- Or if you are giving access to an addon domain enter public_html/yourdomain.ie
- Finally set a Quota, generally, it is fine to set this to Unlimited
- Click Create FTP Account
