FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means for uploading website files to a hosting account. With an FTP program that is installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with a few clicks. This is done using an easy-to-navigate GUI and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you can set up separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you’d like to give someone access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to access only one specific folder and will not be able to view the remaining content or any other info, including personal details. Three things are needed to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Our website hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to indicate what web files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of accounts that you can set up, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. If you don’t want to use a given FTP account anymore or in case a designer has accomplished their job and you do not want them to access your web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to see all currently existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with one single mouse click. You’ll be able to change the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, and so on.
