To create a way for my website managers (who have authorization) to log into the back-end but don’t have access to FTP, this is a great alternative. I created a link they can use (after WP login) that opens “File Manager” and takes them directly to the folder I want them to see or upload to.
To generate the link, open “File Manager”, then navigate to the folder you want to share (with authorized user), then you’ll see that folder link in the URL window. This way they are not having to go through the Dashboard and all the folders inside “File Manager’s” tree to find the correct one. Each folder generates a unique URL.
Again, the user must be logged into WordPress before using the link or they will get a Fatal Error message.
