FTP access allows users to upload, herunterladen, and manage website files without accessing the full Plesk interface. In Plesk, you can create separate FTP accounts and restrict each one to a specific directory, which is useful when working with developers, Designer, or external collaborators.
Diese Funktion wird häufig in Umgebungen verwendet, die über verwaltet werden Plesk-Hosting where controlled file access is required.
When FTP Accounts Are Useful
