FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for exchanging files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will have 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 lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can fulfill their job without accessing any other folder in your website hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple Internet sites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

Any of the cloud web hosting packages offered by us will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your sites independently or to give other people access to any site in your hosting account. If you have a web design program installed on your home computer, you will be able to manage numerous websites at the same time and to keep them updated without any effort. If you give the login details to some other individual for a specific task, you’ll be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with just a few clicks of the mouse and prevent any possibility of unsolicited access to your website content from then on. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you set up will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a different FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t set a limit on this service with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you will be able to edit the password for a given account or to update its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account without any effort in case you no longer need it – for example, if you have hired a web designer who’s finished with the Internet site and you do not want them to be able to access your web files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have compiled a number of instructional videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort in case you have never used a web hosting package before.
