Restricting Access of an FTP User to a Specific Directory

You can choose to restrict a FTP Users access to a specific directory. Once you define such a restriction then the User will directly land into this particular directory on logging into the server via FTP. The User will not be able to go to the parent directory. Thus, you can create a configuration which ensures that a particular FTP User can make modifications only to a particular section of your website.

To create such a restriction on an existing user follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Control Panel, Search for the domain name for which you have purchased this Hosting Order and go to the Order Information view. 1

  2. Click the Manage Web Hosting link.

  3. In the Menu, point to Manage Website -> FTP User Manger and then click List FTP Users. This would give a list of all FTP Users associated with your Web Hosting package.

  4. Click the desired FTP User to go to the Details view.

  5. In the Home directory field, enter the name of the directory to which you wish to restrict the User's access. Alternatively, click browse to choose the requisite directory, then click Select.

  6. Click Submit.
