FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to exchange files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All it takes to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can carry out their task without being able to view any other content in your website hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple websites with web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just a few clicks through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to select what files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. In case you would not like to use a given FTP account anymore or if a designer has completed their job and you don’t want them to connect to the web content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to view all currently active accounts shown alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with a single click. You’ll be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have a comprehensive Help database, which can help you administer your FTP accounts if you need to deal with any predicament.
