The simplest way to authorize your friends or colleagues to work with particular directories in your account is to create FTP sub-accounts. An FTP sub-account consist of a username and a password, which provide  full FTP permissions to a single directory, without giving access to the root directory, other directories or the control panel. No dedicated IP is required for FTP sub-accounts. Each FTP sub-account require login information, which is different from your personal login.

To create a new FTP sub-account:

• Select FTP User link under FTP/User Account menu.
• At the bottom of the page find FTP sub-accounts and click the Add icon.
• In the next page, enter the FTP login and password that will be used by this other user, and the directory this user will be restricted to.
  The directory must be relative to your home directory. If you leave the directory field empty, FTP sub-users will have access to your whole home directory.

FTP sub-account traffic is a part of the Total/Summary traffic, but you can always see how much FTP traffic has been run up by an individual FTP sub-account by going to the FTP Manager page and clicking the Edit icon next to the sub-account login.
