FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widespread methods of transmitting website files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will handle the rest. There’re several benefits of employing FTP, including the option to resume a download/upload if there’s some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the very best option especially when you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created straight from them, without the need to make use of 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the Linux shared hosting services offered by us, as we have chosen not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can maintain multiple websites all at once or provide other people with access to separate directories. As soon as a particular job has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to connect to your files anymore, you can update the password for the FTP account in question or you can just remove the account with a few clicks and stop worrying about anyone accessing it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all hosting plans, will permit you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just one click to manage different options for any of them – to change the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve chosen upon registration, since the FTP access is one of the default features that you will be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can set up as many FTP accounts as you want from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your website content too. All the FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a particular account any longer, you can simply remove it and prevent persons who have used it before from accessing it again. This option is especially useful in case you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT expert departs the firm and you do not want them to access the web files any longer. A detailed Help database that comprises instructional video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you don’t have past experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you will be provided with the possibility to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all VPS setups, no matter the Control Panel that you have selected during the order procedure – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Based on your requirements, you can have a different FTP account for every website or a number of FTP accounts with access to a particular folder – if you’d like to permit several persons to connect to that folder using their very own login details. Even if you have never used a web hosting account previously or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you won’t have any problems setting up, removing or editing any FTP account on your VPS, as everything is done through an easy-to-use GUI and takes only a couple of clicks.
