FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for sending web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without being able to see any other folder in your hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple websites with web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Our hosting packages will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with only a few clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what web files and folders each account can connect to. There’s no upper limit to the total number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you wish at any given time. If you do not want to use a certain FTP account anymore or in case a designer has fulfilled their job and you do not want them to access your web content any longer, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to see all currently active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with one single mouse click. You will be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have in-depth help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you run into any problem.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, as we have not limited this service with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you will be able to modify the password for a particular account or to edit its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you don’t need it anymore – for instance, if you have hired a developer who is finished with the site and you don’t want them to be able to access your web files any longer. For your convenience, we’ve made a number of tutorial videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without efforts if you’ve never used a web hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS

With a virtual private server from us, you’ll be given the chance to create unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all VPS plans, regardless of the hosting Control Panel that you have chosen during the subscription procedure – cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your requirements, you can set up a different FTP account for each website or several FTP accounts with access to a specific folder – if you would like to permit several persons to access that folder with their very own set of sign-in credentials. Even if you have never had a website hosting account before or if you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on your virtual machine, as everything is done via a simple-to-work-with web interface and takes just a couple of mouse clicks.
