FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most popular ways to send web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software will take care of the rest. There’re several pros of employing FTP, including the ability to restart a download/upload in case there is a problem with the FTP connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the ideal solution when you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without having to make use of any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be really easy with each of our Linux shared web hosting packages. This feature is not limited, so with our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your sites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. If you hire a web designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can modify the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with just one single click of the mouse from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can connect to. Handy options such as updating the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP programs are also only a click away.
