FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most popular ways to exchange files between a computer system and a web server. With FTP software such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will deal with all the rest. There are several pluses of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the option to restart an upload/download if there is some problem with the connection or the ability to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other information, which makes it the perfect option when you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you’ve created directly from them, without having to make use of 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
You can set up as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the Linux cloud packages offered by us, because we’ve chosen not to limit this functionality. Thus, you can run numerous Internet sites at the same time or give other people access to different folders. Once a particular job has been fulfilled and you would not like that individual to be able to access your web files any longer, you can change the password for the given FTP account or you can simply delete that account with a few clicks and stop worrying about anybody connecting to it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting plans, will allow you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes only a click to manage various options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
