Why would I need several FTP accounts?
You may create several FTP accounts, each one leading to a different folder. By specifying a username and its access path, you may allow certain users to access definite web folders. For example, username 'admin' may have access to modify the contents of all subfolders, while username 'josh' may enter only the 'members' subfolder of your website.
