FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for transferring files between a home PC and a web server. Using 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 computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to see any other content in your hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple sites with web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the cloud hosting packages that we offer, since we have decided not to restrict this feature. In this way, you can manage numerous websites simultaneously or give other individuals access to multiple directories. As soon as a particular job has been carried out and you don’t want that person to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can update the password for the given FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a few clicks and quit worrying about anyone accessing it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting packages, will allow you to view the full list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only a click to manage various options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

If necessary, you will be able to change the password for a specific FTP account or to change its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account without effort in case you no longer need it – for instance, if you have hired a web designer who is finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your files anymore.
