How do you give cpanel access for one domain only?

    I want to ask the person I bought a site from to install it for me on my cpanel, but I don't know how to give access to the cpanel only for that particular domain. If I give access, I'll be giving access to all my sites.

    Does anyone know how I can give access to just one domain's cpanel?

    Just give them an FTP account on the domain and lock it in that directory. If they need a database created just do it for them ;)

    Oh no :(

    That explains it!

    Thank you Cypriot, I think that's what I'll do. I can create an FTP account, but I'm not sure how they will be able to access this FTP account. Will they do it by going to http://ftp.mydomain.com ?

    And how can I lock it in that directory?

    Thanks. rep added :)

    Thank you GnBz but I already know how to set up an FTP account - I'm trying to find out what I have to do after opening the account.

    giving only ftp access makes installation difficult to that guy if it involves db operations

    how he can import db by only ftp ;) :D

    I could just install the database for him and then he can upload the rest. It's a real pain having to upload large files to my server, and sometimes I get a ton of errors so I really want to be able to give access somehow.
