FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for transferring website files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you will have 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. File Transfer Protocol is used by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to view any other content in your hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous websites with web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Any of the shared website hosting packages offered by us will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your websites separately or to grant other people access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design program installed on your personal computer, you’ll be able to run numerous websites at once and to update them effortlessly. In case you provide the login credentials to some other individual to perform a certain task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with only a few clicks of the mouse and prevent any risk of unauthorized access to your content in the future. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you create will be listed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
