FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most famous means for uploading and downloading website files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will cope with the rest. There are several benefits of using File Transfer Protocol, including the option to restart a download/upload when there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other information, which makes it the very best solution particularly in case you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without the need to resort to 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any given time. If you would not like to use a given FTP account any longer or in case a designer has done their task and you do not want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to view all currently existing accounts displayed alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with a single click. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have exhaustive help articles, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you run into any difficulty.
