FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most famous means for uploading and downloading web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP program like FileZilla, you can connect to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will take care of the rest. There’re a number of benefits of using FTP, including the option to restart a download/upload if there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the option to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the best solution particularly in case you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to resort to 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux cloud website hosting that we’re offering, since we’ve decided not to limit this feature. Thus, you can have numerous Internet sites simultaneously or give other persons access to separate folders. As soon as a specific task has been completed and you do not want that person to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password for the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with several clicks and quit worrying about anybody using it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared plans, will allow you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just a click to manage various options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
