FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to transfer web files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All it takes to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by plenty of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can carry out their job without being able to access any other folder in your website hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous Internet sites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
You can create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the website hosting offered by us, since we’ve chosen not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can have numerous websites at the same time or provide other people with access to different directories. As soon as a specific task has been accomplished and you don’t want that person to be able to access your files any longer, you can update the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just delete that account with a couple of mouse clicks and quit worrying about someone connecting to it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared web hosting packages, will allow you to see the complete list of the existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one single click to manage different options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve chosen at signup, since the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to take advantage of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you want via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your website content too. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a specific account anymore, you can just delete it and prevent individuals who have used it before from accessing it again.
