FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of transmitting web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by a lot 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 web designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to access any other folder in your web hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple sites with web design applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Any of the cloud web hosting packages offered by our company will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to grant other persons access to any Internet site in your website hosting account. In case you have a web design software app pre-installed on your home computer, you will be able to run numerous Internet sites simultaneously and to keep them up to date with ease. If you provide the login credentials to some other individual to do a given task, you’ll be able to change the password for that FTP account or to delete it completely with just a few clicks and avoid any chance of unauthorized access to your web content from then on. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

With our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like, even separate accounts with access to the very same directory – if you would like several users to be able to access the very same website content with different login credentials.
