FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most popular methods of transferring website files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software will handle all the rest. There’re a number of pluses of using File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to restart an upload/download when there is some problem with the connection and the option to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other info, which makes it the best solution particularly when you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you have created directly from them, without any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Any of the shared web hosting packages that we offer will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your Internet sites independently or to provide other people with access to any website in your web hosting account. In case you have a web design software app pre-installed on your computer, you’ll be able to administer numerous websites simultaneously and to keep them up to date without a hitch. If you provide the login credentials to some other person to perform a particular task, you will 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 unsolicited access to your website content in the future. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
