FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for uploading web content to a hosting account. Using an FTP app that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with several mouse clicks. This is done via an intuitive graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’ll be able to create separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you wish to provide someone with access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to access only one particular folder and will not be able to view the remaining web content or any other information, such as private details. You need three things in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain name, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
You can create as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the Linux website hosting that we are offering, since we’ve decided not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can have multiple websites all at once or grant other persons access to different folders. Once a particular job has been completed and you don’t want that person to be able to connect to your website files any longer, you can edit the password associated with the given FTP account or you can just remove the account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about somebody accessing it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all hosting accounts, will permit you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just a click to manage different options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
