Need Advice

Hello Friends,
When Someone Asks FTP Info. So how should i give it to them
Should i give the Main Account FTP info, so they can send FTP files to the Addon Folder?

Or there is Direct FTP Account already for Addon Folder? or we can create?

Advice please.

Don't give out the main FTP info as that will give FULL CONTROL of your site to the person you give it to!!!!!

You can create a new FTP account in cPanel and point that to any directory you want. Look for "FTP Accounts." That account will only be able to access the directory you specify and any directories inside of it, but not the rest of your site.

And then i see below

FTP Disk Usage/Quota
No FTP Accounts have a Quota Set

There is an "Add FTP Account" button right under that.

Hello Aviz,
All you would need to give them as access to their folder is:
ftp://theirdomain.com and the Username/Password you assigned to the FTP Account you created.
