FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transferring files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make 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 have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without accessing any other directory in the hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous Internet sites using web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be rather easy with each of our Linux cloud plans. This service isn’t restricted, so using our intuitive Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you need to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks completed. If you hire a designer and they are done with the website, for instance, you can change the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one 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 created and the folders that they can access. Handy functions such as editing the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP apps are also just a click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a separate FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t put a restriction on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our intuitive Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you’ll be able to update the password for a particular account or to change its access path with a few clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly in case you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a developer who’s finished with the website and you don’t want them to be able to access your files anymore. For your convenience, we’ve made different educational video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort in case you have never used a web hosting package before.
