FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous method for sending web files to a hosting account. Using an FTP client app that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with a few clicks. This is done via a simple-to-work-with GUI and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you’re able to set up different accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you would like to grant someone access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to connect only to one specific directory and won’t be able to see the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are mandatory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain name, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

There is no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have as many as you like at any given time. If you don’t want to use a particular FTP account any longer or if a web designer has accomplished their task and you don’t want them to connect to the web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check all currently active FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one single click. You will be able to modify the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera.
