FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular methods for transmitting files between a computer and a server. With FTP client software like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software itself will do the rest. There’re several pros of employing FTP, including the possibility to resume an upload/download if there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other information, which makes it the very best solution particularly if you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to make use of third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages are astonishingly powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting plenty of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to set a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you will be able to check the access path and to change it, if necessary. Also, you can set up an account in a client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never opened a hosting account previously, you can check out our detailed tutorial videos, which are available in the very same section of the Control Panel.
