FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of uploading and downloading files between a home computer and a web server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to access any other folder in your web hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous Internet sites using web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Thus, you can run multiple Internet sites simultaneously or give other people access to different directories. As soon as a particular task has been fulfilled and you don’t want that person to be able to access your files anymore, you can update the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with several clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about anybody accessing it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting packages, will permit you to see the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one click of the mouse to manage various options for any of them – to change the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
