FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method of uploading and downloading website files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or whole 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 access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to view any other content in your hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build multiple sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only several mouse clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what website files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you need at any particular moment. If you do not want to use a specific FTP account any longer or in case a designer has fulfilled their task and you don’t want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently active FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one mouse click. You will be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have a comprehensive Help database, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any problem.
