FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for exchanging files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without accessing any other content in the web hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous Internet sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the website hosting plans that we offer, because we have decided not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can maintain numerous websites all at once or give other persons access to separate folders. Once a particular task has been done and you don’t want that person to be able to access your web files anymore, you can edit the password for the FTP account or you can simply remove the account with a couple of clicks and stop worrying about anybody connecting to it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared packages, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts shown alphabetically. It takes just one single mouse click to manage various options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
