FTP Accounts
What's FTP? What?s an FTP account? When will you be needing one?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is among the most widely used ways to exchange files between a computer and a web server. With FTP client software such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will take care of all the rest. There’re several pluses of using FTP, including the possibility to restart an upload/download in case there is a problem with the FTP connection and the option to create different FTP accounts. With 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 other information, which makes it the perfect solution particularly when you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without having to make use of 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the shared website hosting offered by our company, as we’ve chosen not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can run numerous Internet sites simultaneously or provide other individuals with access to multiple folders. As soon as a certain job has been completed and you do not want that individual to be able to connect to your website files any longer, you can change the password for the FTP account or you can just delete that account with several mouse clicks and stop worrying about somebody using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all hosting packages, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one single mouse click to administer different options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
