FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method for transmitting files between a 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 computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you need 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. FTP is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can complete their job without being able to view any other directory in your website hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous websites using web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Creating and managing multiple FTP accounts will be rather easy with each of our Linux website hosting. This feature isn’t limited, so using our time and effort saving Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks done. If you hire a designer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can change the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one single click of the mouse through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up and what folders they can access. Useful options such as modifying the path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widespread FTP client programs are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we have not set a restriction on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, along with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you’ll be able to edit the password for a given account or to edit its access path with a few clicks. You can also delete an account without effort if you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a developer who’s done with the site and you don’t want them to connect to your files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have compiled a number of tutorial video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort in case you have never used a website hosting plan before.
