Hello

I hope someone can help me with this.

I have someone who will be doing a bit of website work for me.

I want to give him FTP access to my server.

I would like him to be able to access the websites folder, i.e. /home/website and another folder I use for general functions, i.e. /home/functions

Does anyone know how I can do this?

I am using Linux with WHM/Cpanel.

Thank you!

You need superuser access to the server to create a new user.

BTW, FTP is far from secure in this day and age.
