Allowing multiple ftp users...

shifty_uk · 29 Jan 2007 at 15:03

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to allow multiple users to gain access to different areas/folders of my webspace through ftp? If so, how could I go about doing it? Would I need to build my own login and administration facilities, or can I just do it using my control panel provided by my host?

Thanks!

Depends on the host, but yes you should be able to set up more than one FTP with different access levels via thier control panel.

You probably have to pay them £10,000 for access to that

^^ lol, very likely. There was a customer satisfaction survey recently, in which I mentioned they could offer some of their extras at no extra cost. I doubt it will happen, though.

Shifty, if you log into Fasthosts support from their main website, click FTP on the first page and then 'How to create a custom FTP account'. I think that's what you're after.
