FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most widespread means for transmitting files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software will deal with all the rest. There are several advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the option to restart an upload/download if there is some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other information, which makes it the perfect option particularly if you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without having to resort to 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what web files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you want at any given time. In case you don’t want to use a particular FTP account any longer or if a web designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to access your web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to check all currently active accounts shown in alphabetical order, together with different options, which you can access with one single click of the mouse. You’ll be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have a detailed Help database, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you need to deal with any difficulties.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a different FTP account for each of them, as we have not restricted this service with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a certain account or to modify its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account without efforts in case you do not require it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a designer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have selected a number of video tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly if you have never used a web hosting package before.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the Linux VPS web hosting packages that we’re offering has any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create a separate account for any website hosted on the virtual server, no matter if it’s under a domain or subdomain. What’s more, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll choose when you order – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on your VPS during the configuration of any of them. In case you want several people to make a connection to the exact same directory using their own set of log-in details, for example, it will take a few clicks to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or changing the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t have to deal with any complications, even if you have no previous experience in such matters.
