    4. Directory: When you create an FTP account, it is limited to the directory you set here. To give them full access to your file system, just enter a forward slash, like this: \/\n

      To give limited access to your website files to an FTP account, enter public_html. Or as you name the FTP account it will try to automatically restrict access to public_html\/username<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. Qouta field: Use this field to limit the amount of space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
