FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means of sending web files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP client app that’s pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this via a user-friendly GUI and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you can set up separate accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you want to grant someone access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to one specific directory and won’t be able to view the remaining content or any other information, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Each of the hosting packages offered by us will permit you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your Internet sites independently or to give other people access to any Internet site in your hosting account. If you’ve got a web design program pre-installed on your home PC, you will be able to manage multiple sites at the same time and to keep them updated without a hitch. If you give the login information to some other individual for a certain task, you will be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to delete it altogether with only a few clicks and avoid any risk of unsolicited access to your web content from then on. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
