Hi all,

Fairly straight-forward question really. I've outsourced a lot of work to Web Developers recently and it's always gone through my mind "what if I had a disagreement and things got out of hand"?

I'm wondering whether there is any advise or good practice when giving freelance Web developers access to your site's FTP and/or Wordpress login details?

At the moment I simply create an account for them, and specify the directory for that FTP account, which I assume restricts that FTP user to accessing that folder only? I obviously backup the site before handing it over too, but I just wondered whether this prevents them from attacking my site should there be an argument?

Cheers,

Ash

There is always a risk, yes. The trick is to be really picky with people you work with. Make sure they have a reputable professional background, and perhaps even check up on their previous employers.

It all about outsourcing your work to the right person. Check out their portfolio before outsourcing and take proper interview too.
