FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widespread ways to exchange web files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will take care of all the rest. There are several pros of employing FTP, including the possibility to resume a download/upload if there is some problem with the FTP connection or the option to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other information, which makes it the best solution particularly in case you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Any of the hosting plans offered by our company will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your sites separately or to give other persons access to any website in your web hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design software application pre-installed on your home PC, you’ll be able to administer multiple websites at once and to keep them up to date without a hitch. If you give the login details to another individual for a certain task, you will be able to update the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with only a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any risk of unauthorized access to your web content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each of them, since we have not set a limit on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to modify its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account with no effort if you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who’s finished with the site and you do not want them to be able to access your files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we have shot a number of tutorial video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort in case you have never used a hosting package previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS
The virtual private server plans offered by us will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which package you purchase and which Control Panel you pick upon registration – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. In all cases, you’ll acquire FTP access to the VPS server without the need to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the basic software stack that comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you host or even several accounts for one single directory – in case you want different people to access the content inside it using their own personal login details. With any of the available Control Panels, setting up, removing or modifying an FTP account requires no more than a couple of clicks via an easy-to-work-with interface.
