FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most famous means for exchanging website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will cope with the rest. There are a number of advantages of using File Transfer Protocol, among them the option to restart a download/upload in case there is a problem with the connection and the option to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the ideal solution especially when you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you have created straight from them, without having to resort to any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the hosting plans that we offer, because we have decided not to restrict this service. In this way, you can have numerous Internet sites all at once or give other people access to separate folders. As soon as a given job has been accomplished and you would not like that individual to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can change the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a couple of mouse clicks and quit worrying about anyone connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all website hosting plans, will permit you to view the full list of the existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes only one mouse click to administer different options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
