FTP Accounts
Find out about FTP accounts as well as about FTP in general - exactly what they are and when you will need them.
FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular means for uploading files to a hosting account. Using an FTP software application that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with a couple of clicks. You can do this via a user-friendly interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you are able to create several FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you wish to grant someone access, for example – a designer, they will be able to access only one particular directory and won’t be able to see the remaining web content or any other info, such as personal details. You need three prerequisites in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.
