FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widely used ways to exchange web files between a computer and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will deal with the rest. There’re several benefits of using FTP, among them the option to restart a download/upload when there is some problem with the connection and the possibility to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other info, which makes it the perfect option particularly in case you need to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to use any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with only several clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what files and folders each account can connect to. There is no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. In case you do not want to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a designer has accomplished their job and you do not want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to see all currently existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You will be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have exhaustive help articles, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you encounter any complication.
