QueenTiye Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi! I'm hiring someone to work on my SMF forum, and he requests access to the source code of the file. I assume this means he needs to get into the server, but that would mean giving him my password - and since I like my password - I don't want to give it away! So - is there some other way to get the code to him (including existing modifcations installed, etc.?) If I change my password, can I change it right back again, after he get's what he needs from the server? Am I making any sense at all???

TCH-Andy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 You can do it one of 2 ways..... He is asking for a copy of the code, so you can download it using FTP - and give it to him, he can modify it and you can upload it. or You can set up an FTP account for him to have access to that directory - with his own password. Let him in to change things (and he has no access to your cpanel, emails etc) then you simply delete the FTP account afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenTiye Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 OK. I think I know how to do this, but is there a tutorial or something on setting up an FTP account? QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Click on either of the tutorial links in my signature and you will find an FTP setup tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
