FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular means of exchanging web files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP client like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software itself will handle all the rest. There are a number of pluses of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to restart an upload/download if there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the ability to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other information, which makes it the ideal option if you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you have created directly from them, without the need to make use of 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what files and folders each one can access. There is no upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you are allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you want at any particular moment. In case you do not want to use a given FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has done their job and you don’t want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently existing accounts displayed in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with one single click of the mouse. You’ll be able to change the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have an extensive Help section, which can help you manage your FTP accounts if you experience any difficulty.
