FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method of sending web files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you 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 preferred by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can carry out their task without being able to view any other directory in the hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple sites using web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the hosting plans offered by our company, since we’ve decided not to limit this service. Thus, you can maintain multiple sites at once or provide other individuals with access to separate folders. As soon as a particular task has been fulfilled and you do not want that individual to be able to access your web files anymore, you can change the password for the FTP account in question or you can just remove that account with a few mouse clicks and stop worrying about somebody using it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all website hosting accounts, will permit you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single click of the mouse to administer various options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
