FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to upload and download files between a home computer and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main 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 used by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their task without accessing any other folder in your hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple sites with web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be very easy with any of our Linux hosting packages. This feature isn’t restricted, so with our simple-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you have to, in order to administer your sites and to get your web-related tasks accomplished. If you hire a web developer and they are done with the website, for example, you can update the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with just one mouse click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve set up and the folders that they can connect to. Handy functions such as modifying the path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for commonly used FTP clients are also only one mouse click away.
