    Angry Why Do Website Builiders Limit Your Access and Don't Let you make files?

    This is frustrating, I mean I love their hosting and the price, but why can't I have FTP access?:gloomy:

    Wait a minute...

    You are paying for hosting and you don't have access to FTP!?!? That is crazy. Seriously, it isn't even worth it to not have FTP access to upload your material...

    The host I use has it...Why can't yours? Sorry but I think you should find a better host. I am sure there are ones out there that cost the same or less WITH FTP access.

    you should not get a host that restricts ftp access.
    There are thousands of hosts. I would recommend hostgator

    Yes, it is crazy. I am paying for hosting with no FTP access, however with that one flaw I very content with my web hosting service. I am a relatively new webmaster only been working my sites of a little over a year.

    So even if I were to find a hosting service that allows me FTP, I would have to teach myself everything about File Transfer Protocol

    FTP is easy, especially with a program that supports an 'explorer' style view. At that point it's as easy as logging in, then dragging and dropping files from one side to the other.
