FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transmitting website files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to view any other content in your web hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple websites with web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.

The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with a single click of the mouse.
