Windows 10: Network Location Login

On my website's CPanel I created some FTP accounts: Admin, Employee #1, Employee #2, Hub


My folder directories on my web host looks like this:

• Files Only Administrator has access to this folder
  • Hub Space Everyone has access to this folder through logging in with Hub FTP Account
  • Employee #1 Employee #1 only has access to this folder through logging in with Employee #1 FTP Account
  • Employee #2 Employee #2 only has access to this folder through logging in with Employee #2 FTP Account
  
  

By setting up the Admin account to root with the parent folder Files, the admin easily has access to all the subfolders.


However for the Employees, they will have to have 2 Network Folder: One for their Employee Folder and another for the Hub Space.


But whenever they switch from Employee folder to Hub folder, they have to login.


That is just inconvenient.


Is there a better way to set this up so that they don't have to login all the time?

Hi Erich,

Adding a network place in Windows allows you to access FTP, Windows file shares, and some HTTP servers directly in My Network Places, without having to use an FTP client.
