FTP Accounts
Discover more about FTP accounts and about FTP as a whole - exactly what they are and when you will be needing them.
FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is among the most commonly used means of exchanging files between a computer system and a web server. With FTP client software such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will deal with all the rest. There are a number of pros of using FTP, among them the option to resume an upload/download in case there is a problem with the connection and the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other information, which makes it the very best solution particularly when you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you have created straight from them, without the need to resort to 3rd-party software.
