FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous method of transmitting web files to a hosting account. With an FTP client program that’s installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can establish a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the files that you want with several mouse clicks. You can do this via an easy-to-navigate interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’ll be able to set up separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you would like to provide a third party with access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only one specific directory and won’t be able to view the remaining web content or any other info, such as private details. Three things are necessary in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain name, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

You can set up as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the shared hosting offered by us, since we have chosen not to limit this service. Thus, you can maintain numerous websites at once or provide other persons with access to multiple folders. As soon as a given task has been done and you don’t want that individual to be able to connect to your files anymore, you can change the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a few mouse clicks and stop worrying about someone using it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all website hosting plans, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one click of the mouse to manage different options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
