Hosting Controller enables you to add one or more FTP accounts to your web site. An FTP account allows remote users to upload files to your web site. The FTP accounts can be set up so that FTP users have access to all of your web site, or they can be set up so that external users can only access a restricted part of your web site. If you need to restrict their access, you need to set the Folder Security settings for the folder you want them to access. Refer to Folder Security for more information about security settings.
