FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transmitting website files between a home PC and a web server. With an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All it takes to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to see any other folder in the website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple Internet sites with web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Any of the cloud web hosting packages that we are offering will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your Internet sites separately or to provide other persons with access to any Internet site in your website hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design software app pre-installed on your personal computer, you will be able to manage multiple websites at the same time and to update them without any efforts. In case you provide the login credentials to another individual to perform a particular task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it entirely with just a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any risk of unsolicited access to your content in the future. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we have not set a limit on this service with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can do this via the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to modify the password for a certain FTP account or to modify its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you don’t require it anymore – for instance, if you have hired a designer who’s done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to connect to your files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we have shot different how-to video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort if you’ve never used a website hosting plan previously.
