FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method of sending website files between a home PC and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one 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. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple websites using web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve picked at signup, as the FTP access is one of the standard features that you will be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you wish through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your web content too.
