We have recently added a new security feature to all personal hosting accounts.  The feature enables you to disable upload access to your account. To access the FTP security lock settings:

1) Login to our site https://www.34sp.com/login
2) Select ‘hosting’ from the right hand menu
3) Click on the hosting account you want to update
4) Scroll down the page to the FTP security lock section
You can set three options for the account:

Enable: Upload access to your account is permitted.
Enable today: Upload access is temporarily enabled. Access is automatically disabled at midnight.
Disabled: Upload access is not permitted to the account.
This will affect all upload access to the account: FTP, SCP and SFTP. Changes to the setting take immediate effect.

If you have any queries please reply to this email, or call us on +44 (0)161 200 1855.
