The FTP manager controls all aspects of FTP access to your site.

Using FTP Account Maintenance you can add/remove FTP users and set their permissions, for example a user may only have access to certain directories within your site or you can give them access to the site root if required.

You can also download FTP logs to analyse your FTP user’s activity. Please note: these logs are in .tar.gz format (the linux equivalent to .zip files) so in order to view them you will need to expand them - we recommend using 7zip (www.7-zip.org) - a free software utility.

For security reasons we do not recommend you offer anonymous FTP access to your site.

You can also use the FTP Session Control feature to terminate current FTP sessions.

The Disk Space Usage icon can be extremely useful if you’re running a little low on space and don’t know why! It will give you a list of all files and directories using an abnormally high amount of disk space so you can do something about it before you reach your limit.

If it’s the ‘mail’ directory that’s quite full then it might be worth considering checking your username@domain.ext account for spam. If this is the case simply delete all e-mails and turn on some anti-spam software like Boxtrapper or Spamassassin (see ‘Mail’ post in Control Panel Features).

If it’s the ’stats’ folder consider changing your stats settings - you can set it to archive just one month’s stats and delete the rest.

The Parked Domains allows you to “point” or “park” additional domain names to your existing hosting account. This will allow users to also reach your website when entering the “parked” or “pointed” domain into their browsers.

For example, the domain www.yourdomain.com could point to www.yourdomain.ext

An easy way to access your webmail is by simply clicking on the webmail icon from your control panel, alternatively visit

www.yourdomain.ext/webmail
