Child FTP accounts allow you to create FTP accounts that are restricted to a specific 'root' directory.  For example, a user named 'marketing' could be created with only access to the /marketing folder.  If the root directory is /, it creates an account with full FTP access but no web access.

To configure a Child FTP Account, click on Account Settings and then the FTP Child Accounts submenu. The Child FTP account configuration screen, illustrated below, is displayed. Follow the steps below to configure a Child FTP Account. 

1. Click Add new FTP child. The Change Child FTP Settings screen, illustrated below, is displayed.
