FTP Accounts
Learn more about what FTP is, what it can do and what is the main advantage of using multiple FTP Accounts.
FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for sending files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to view any other content in your hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple Internet sites using web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
