FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular way to transmit files to a web hosting account. With FTP client software that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with several clicks. You can do this via a simple-to-work-with interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you are able to create different accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you wish to give someone access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular directory and will not be able to access the remaining web content or any other information, including personal details. You need three prerequisites in order to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to choose what files and folders each account can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any particular moment. If you would not like to use a certain FTP account anymore or in case a designer has completed their task and you do not want them to connect to the website content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently existing accounts listed alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have an in-depth Help library, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have to deal with any predicament.
