FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transmitting files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to see any other directory in the web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple websites with web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need with any of the cloud web hosting that we are offering, as we have decided not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can run multiple Internet sites at the same time or grant other persons access to different folders. Once a particular task has been accomplished and you would not like that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can edit the password for the particular FTP account or you can simply remove the account with a couple of clicks and quit worrying about anyone connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting plans, will permit you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only a click to administer different options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
