I think I may be able to create an FTP account for ourselves that accesses multiple folders. If I can, would this avoid the problem you spoke of? That, or I could put those two folders in a parent folder and just give the account access to it, right? If it is possible are there any folders other than the exports and reports folders that I should give that account access too?
