FTP Accounts

FTP or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular way to transfer web content to a hosting account. Using an FTP client app that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can connect to your website hosting server and copy all of the website files that you need with several clicks. This is done using an easy-to-use interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you will be able to create separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you want to give someone access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only a particular directory and will not be able to see the remaining content or any other information, including personal details. Three things are necessary to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.
