FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most famous means of exchanging files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software will handle all the rest. There’re a number of advantages of using FTP, among them the ability to restart a download/upload if there’s a problem with the connection or the option to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the very best solution especially when you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you’ve created straight from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what web files and folders each account can access. There is no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you like at any given time. In case you do not want to use a specific FTP account any longer or in case a designer has done their task and you don’t want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently active accounts displayed in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have an extensive Help database, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you come across any impediment.
