FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), represents the most famous means for transmitting web files to a hosting account. Using an FTP client application that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with several mouse clicks. You can do this using an easy-to-use GUI and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up separate accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you want to give somebody access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular folder and will not be able to see the remaining content or any other information, including private details. Three things are compulsory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain name, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the cloud hosting that we’re offering, because we’ve chosen not to restrict this service. Thus, you can have multiple websites at once or grant other persons access to multiple directories. Once a certain job has been done and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to connect to your files anymore, you can modify the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just remove the account with a couple of clicks and stop worrying about anybody connecting to it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all website hosting accounts, will permit you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one click of the mouse to administer various options for any of them – to change the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
