Is there any way to create an FTP account that has access to the main root FTP folder? I want to give someone access to FTP, but without giving them my password to the CPanel. Thanks.

You want to give them access to root's home directory?

That is a real bad idea.

Well, I trust them with my public_html, but I don't want them going through my CPanel.

So when you say "main root FTP folder" are you referring to your "public_html folder"?

Yep
