FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most popular ways to transfer website files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will cope with all the rest. There are several pluses of using File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume a download/upload in case there’s a problem with the connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the best solution particularly in case you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to make use of any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting plans will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each one can access. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you wish at any given moment. If you would not like to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a designer has fulfilled their job and you don’t want them to connect to your web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to view all currently active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with a single click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have detailed help articles, which can help you manage your FTP accounts if you have any obstacle.
