FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method of sending files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to see any other directory in the web hosting account. Also, the availability 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
Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be rather easy with each of our shared hosting. This service is not restricted, so with our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-related tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can change the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one click via the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and what folders they can access. Handy functions such as modifying the password or the access path and downloading an auto-configuration file for commonly used FTP software applications are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you have picked upon signup, since the FTP access is one of the default features that you’ll be able to take advantage of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can set up as many accounts as you need through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your website content as well. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not need a certain account any longer, you can just remove it and prevent persons who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly handy in case you use the services of a designer or if an IT expert quits the firm and you don’t want them to connect to the web files any longer. An elaborate Help section that contains video tutorials will help you manage your FTP accounts if you have no previous experience.
