FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous method for uploading web content to a hosting account. With an FTP client program that’s pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all the website files that you need with several clicks. You can do this via an intuitive interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you are able to set up different accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you wish to give someone access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only one specific directory and won’t be able to access the remaining content or any other info, including private details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP address, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the cloud web hosting that we offer, as we have decided not to restrict this service. In this way, you can manage numerous websites simultaneously or grant other people access to different folders. As soon as a given job has been carried out and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to access your files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can just delete the account with a couple of clicks and stop worrying about someone using it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting accounts, will permit you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one single mouse click to manage various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t restricted this service with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a given account or to modify its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without effort in case you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who is finished with the site and you do not want them to be able to connect to your web files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have compiled different tutorial videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without efforts in case you have never used a hosting plan before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers offered by our company includes any limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create a separate FTP account for any site hosted on your virtual server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. What’s more, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you’ll select when you sign up – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different individuals to establish a connection to the same directory with their very own set of log-in details, for example, it will take a couple of clicks to create a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or changing the folder that it can access is just as simple and you will not run into any problem, even if you lack past experience in such matters.
