and other files for that user.
|
| Telnet/Shell
Access |
This
will allow that username to login through SSH.
You should only allow people you trust SSH access
as they could destroy your website with a few
keystrokes. SSH is needed to run command line
programs. Some CGI scripts require command line
programs to be run such as creating an index
for a search engine. You can also copy files
to other folders, rename files, and do a lot
more through SSH.

This
will allow that user to login to http://<mydomain.com>/siteadmin/.

They can remove user accounts as well as add and
remove files for the root website of www.mydomain.com.

to http://<mydomain.com>/~<username>/
and modify their personal site. To modify www.mydomain.com
itself, you need to use the username webmaster
and the original password from your e-mail.

All e-mail going to sales@<mydomain.com>
will go to jsmith's inbox.
