FTP Accounts
Learn more about what FTP actually is, what it does and what is the main advantage of having multiple FTP Accounts.
FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most widespread means for uploading and downloading web files between a computer and a server. With an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will cope with the rest. There are a number of pros of using FTP, among them the option to resume an upload/download if there’s a problem with the connection and the option to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other info, which makes it the ideal solution particularly when you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the
cloud hosting that we offer, as we have decided not to restrict this feature. In this way, you can manage multiple websites at once or give other people access to separate folders. As soon as a given job has been completed and you do not want that person to be able to connect to your files anymore, you can edit the password for the given FTP account or you can just remove that account with a few clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about anyone using it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting packages, will permit you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single mouse click to manage different options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
