FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widely used ways to transmit web files between a PC and a web server. With FTP software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will take care of the rest. There are several benefits of employing FTP, among them the possibility to resume a download/upload if there is a problem with the connection or the option to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the ideal solution particularly if you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without having to use any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the shared web hosting plans that we are offering, since we’ve decided not to restrict this service. In this way, you can run multiple websites simultaneously or provide other people with access to separate directories. As soon as a given task has been done and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just delete that account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about someone using it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting plans, will allow you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes just a click to manage various options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
