FTP Accounts
Discover more about FTP accounts and about FTP as a whole - exactly what they are and when you will require them.
FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most commonly used means for transferring web files between a computer and a web server. With FTP client software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software will do the rest. There are a number of pros of using FTP, among them the ability to resume an upload/download if there’s a problem with the connection and the ability to have 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, email accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect solution especially when you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without any third-party software.
