How to Add Someone to Your Domain on GoDaddy
Every website or domain name that is hosted through GoDaddy's online web hosting includes a File Transfer Protocol server, or FTP server. The FTP server is the location on which the website files are stored. The main GoDaddy account holder can access all elements of his or her website, including the FTP server. However, if you have a web developer building your website, you may wish to give him access to only one FTP, rather than handing over your entire GoDaddy account credentials. When a user is added to an FTP, he or she only has access to the specified FTP. That access can be revoked at any time by the account holder.
