FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method of exchanging web files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without being able to access any other folder in your website hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
You can set up as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the Linux shared web hosting service offered by us, since we’ve chosen not to limit this feature. Thus, you can maintain multiple sites at the same time or provide other individuals with access to separate folders. Once a given task has been done and you do not want that individual to be able to access your website files any longer, you can modify the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can just delete that account with several clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about someone connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all website hosting packages, will allow you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one single click of the mouse to administer different options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
