FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of uploading and downloading website files between a PC and a server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to access any other folder in the hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple Internet sites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

Our website hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to specify what website files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of accounts that you are allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any particular moment. In case you would not like to use a given FTP account any longer or if a web designer has completed their job and you do not want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, together with different options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on.
