FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method of sending web files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have 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. File Transfer Protocol is used by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to view any other content in the website hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites with web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers are incredibly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a large number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to set a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different FTP account for each site that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to modify it, if necessary. In addition, you can set up an account in an FTP client by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your home PC, which will save you time. If you have never opened a web hosting account previously, you can watch our elaborate instructional videos, which are available in the exact same section of the Control Panel.
