FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is among the most widely used ways to transfer web files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will cope with all the rest. There are a number of benefits of employing FTP, among them the possibility to resume an upload/download when there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the option to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the very best solution particularly when you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to resort to any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a few clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to indicate what files and folders each account can connect to. There is no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you want at any particular time. If you do not want to use a given FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has accomplished their task and you do not want them to connect to your web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to see all currently active FTP accounts shown alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with one click. You will be able to change the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have detailed help articles, which can help you manage your FTP accounts if you need to deal with any impediments.
