FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is among the most popular methods of sending files between a computer system and a web server. Using FTP client software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software itself will take care of the rest. There’re a number of benefits of employing FTP, among them the option to restart a download/upload in case there is some problem with the connection and the possibility 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, emails or any other info, which makes it the very best option especially if you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to resort to any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

You can create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux cloud hosting that we are offering, since we’ve chosen not to limit this feature. In this way, you can manage multiple sites at the same time or grant other people access to different directories. Once a given job has been carried out and you do not want that person to be able to access your files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can simply delete that account with several mouse clicks and quit worrying about somebody connecting to it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all hosting packages, will permit you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just one single click to administer different options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
