FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of sending website files between a home PC and a server. With an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the 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 used by plenty of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to see any other directory in your hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple websites using web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

In case you give the login credentials to another individual to perform a specific task, you’ll be able to change the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with just a couple of clicks and prevent any possibility of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
