FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular way to send files between a PC and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their job without accessing any other directory in your website hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple websites with web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the cloud hosting plans that we are offering, as we have decided not to limit this service. Thus, you can run numerous sites all at once or grant other persons access to different directories. Once a specific job has been done and you do not want that person to be able to connect to your website files any longer, you can edit the password for the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a couple of mouse clicks and quit worrying about someone accessing it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all hosting plans, will permit you to check the complete list of the existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one mouse click to manage various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
