FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for exchanging website files between a home PC and a web server. With an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, 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 need to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by a lot 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 instance, can do their task without being able to view any other folder in the website hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous sites with web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be rather easy with any of our Linux shared hosting packages. This feature is not restricted, so using our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. If you hire a designer and they are done with the website, for example, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with only one single click from the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and what folders they can access. Handy options such as editing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP software apps are also only one mouse click away.
