FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most famous means for transferring files between a PC and a server. With FTP client software like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software will cope with all the rest. There’re several advantages of using FTP, including the possibility to restart a download/upload if there’s a problem with the connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other info, which makes it the perfect option if you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you have created directly from them, without having to resort to any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting packages will permit you to create multiple FTP accounts with just several clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to choose what files and folders each one can connect to. There’s no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any given moment. If you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account any longer or if a designer has completed their job and you do not want them to access the website content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to view all currently active accounts listed alphabetically, along with various options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You will be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have an extensive Help library, which can help you manage your FTP accounts if you encounter any problems.
