FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transmitting web files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their job without being able to access any other content in your website hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Any of the shared hosting packages that we are offering will permit you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your websites independently or to give other persons access to any site in your hosting account. If you have a web design software app pre-installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to maintain numerous websites at once and to update them effortlessly. In case you provide the login credentials to another person to do a specific task, you’ll be able to update the password for that FTP account or to delete it completely with only a couple of clicks and avoid any risk of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you set up will be listed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
