FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transferring website files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you will need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their task without being able to access any other folder in your web hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous websites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Any of the shared website hosting plans that we are offering will enable you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites independently or to grant other persons access to any site in your web hosting account.

If you provide the login credentials to some other person to carry out a given task, you’ll be able to update the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with just a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any chance of unauthorized access to your content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
