FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most famous means of transmitting files between a PC and a web server. Using FTP client software like FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software itself will handle all the rest. There are several pluses of using FTP, including the ability to resume a download/upload if there’s some problem with the FTP connection and the ability to use 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-mail accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect option particularly in case you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you’ve created directly from them, without having to make use of third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
Our web hosting plans will permit you to create multiple FTP accounts with only a few mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to select what web files and folders each one can connect to. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you like at any given moment. If you would not like to use a specific FTP account any longer or if a web designer has done their job and you don’t want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to view all currently active accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with a click. You’ll be able to change the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have detailed help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you experience any difficulty.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve selected during the registration process, as the FTP access is among the default features that you will be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many accounts as you like through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a given account anymore, you can simply delete it and stop people who have used it before from accessing it again. This functionality is particularly useful in case you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT person departs your company and you don’t want them to access the web files any longer. An extensive Help repository that contains video tutorials will help you administer your FTP accounts if you do not have any previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages that we offer will allow you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you pick on the order form – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. In any case, you will acquire FTP access to the VPS without installing any kind of software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the standard software suite that comes with the VPS plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you have or even several FTP accounts for one single directory – if you want several persons to connect to the content in it with their very own sign-in details. With each of the available Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account requires no more than a few mouse clicks via a simple-to-work-with graphical interface.
