FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most commonly used ways to upload and download files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will take care of all the rest. There’re a number of pros of using FTP, including the option to restart a download/upload if there’s some problem with the connection or the possibility to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other information, which makes it the very best option especially when you need to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to use any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you like at any particular time. If you would not like to use a given FTP account anymore or if a web designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to connect to your web content any longer, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to view all currently active FTP accounts listed alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have a detailed Help section, which can help you manage your FTP accounts in case you have to deal with any impediment.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we have not put a limit on this functionality with any of our plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a particular account or to change its access path with a few clicks. You can also delete an account without any effort in case you don’t need it anymore – for instance, if you’ve hired a designer who is done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your files anymore. For your convenience, we have prepared different how-to video clips, that will help you administer your FTP accounts with ease if you’ve never used a web hosting plan previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you will have the ability to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, no matter which hosting Control Panel you’ve picked during the server order process – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Depending on your needs, you can have a separate FTP account for each Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you wish to permit several individuals to connect to that folder using their very own login credentials. Even if you’ve never used a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you will not have any difficulties setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on the virtual machine, as everything is done through a simple-to-work-with web interface and takes just a few mouse clicks.
