FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular means of sending web content to a hosting account. With an FTP program that’s installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with a couple of mouse clicks. You can do this using an intuitive GUI and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’re able to set up separate accounts, each with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you want to provide a 3rd party with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only a specific folder and will not be able to access the rest of your content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are needed in order to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain name, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be very easy with any of our Linux web hosting packages. This functionality isn’t limited, so using our simple-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you need to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can modify the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one click through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have created and the directories that they can connect to. Useful options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP software applications are also just a click away.
