FTP Accounts
Learn more about what FTP really is, what it does and what is the benefit of acquiring multiple FTP Accounts.
FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of transferring website files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you will have 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. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to see any other directory in your hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous websites with web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
