FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means of transmitting files to a hosting account. Using an FTP client program that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with a few clicks. This is done via a simple-to-use interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you will be able to create several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to give someone access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular folder and will not be able to access the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are required to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP address, a username and a password.

You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish with each of the shared website hosting service offered by our company, since we’ve chosen not to limit this functionality. In this way, you can manage numerous sites simultaneously or provide other individuals with access to different directories. Once a given task has been accomplished and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can modify the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can just remove the account with a few clicks and quit worrying about somebody connecting to it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting packages, will permit you to view the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single click to manage different options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
