I agree this is a feature which I am very surprised is not there

This is critical for one of our applications to receive files via FTP. It should be simple to do.

We should be able to create FTP users that can only access specific folders.

Would be GREAT this feature. I have some employees that can't have access to whole apps. Only to specific folders.

We really need the ability to restrict a SFTP login to a specific folder. This should have been done already. I am stuck today. Just discovered this feature does not exist.

Hear! Hear! This is a critical control panel feature that has to be in place. It is mind boggling that it does not exist as a feature. Come on Cloudways... So much great stuff and you overlook something this simple?

Hey Guys, This one you can't decide by Vote. This is mandatory feature of Web Development. You should bring this feature by Default.

This should definitely be a feature cloudways adds to their system for multiple reasons. Would help with security, simplicity of use, a standard other hosting services provide.

For now you get access to all folders and files, which might cause security problems. And GDPR Problems, as anybody that has been given access could delete or copy any personal Data of web shop clients, for example

Try this https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/

Hi,

You CloudWays have a feature to create new access for Appilcation. But there should be an option to give limited access. For example I have 5 folders in /applications/uhspstmcyh/public_html application. I have a created a new application credential, I want that user should have access to only one folder which is /applications/uhspstmcyh/public_html/area

This feature is not available at the moment.

Thanks,
Sumit

Has this not happened yet? Guess I'll be looking for another hosting option...

This is definitely important.

I need the sftp-option for wordpress projects: worpdress has an "uploads" folder where inside this folder a individual sub-folder should be selectable as target-folder for a new sftp-user functionality. At the moment only a stft-accout can be set everytime in the root-folder which is not usable when create a automated data-import feature (very often used for real estate projects or car-seller websites > sending automated xml, csv data as zip-files with images and pdfs which then will be extraceted an imported into worpdpress for new offers...)

Any chance this will get implemented?
It's not that complicated to do directly on Ubuntu for example so it shouldn't be to add the feature on the Cloudways interface.

Would definitely like to see this functionality added. Have a client that uses an ftp folder for sharing files with staff, and I cannot protect the application files from general staff because we can't point the ftp user to a specific folder.

Definitely a useful feature that I am now missing having moved to Cloudways from a previous web host that offered this capability.

Please provide the ability to create new SFTP users with restricted access to folders. For example, people working on loading products needs access only to media/import folder in Magento.

Yes !!!!

I'm surprised this isn't an option - definitely a must-have for providing client access via SFTP
