FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method of uploading and downloading website files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you will need 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 create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can do their task without being able to see any other folder in the web hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous Internet sites with web design applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the package that you’ve chosen upon signup, since the FTP access is one of the default features that you will be able to use. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you need through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you don’t require a given account any longer, you can just delete it and stop persons who have used it previously from connecting to it again. This functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a web designer or if an IT expert departs the firm and you don’t want them to access the web files any longer. An extensive Help repository that includes tutorial video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess previous experience.
