FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular means of uploading and downloading files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will handle the rest. There are a number of benefits of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to restart an upload/download in case there is a problem with the FTP connection and the possibility to use 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, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the best option when you need to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you have created straight from them, without the need to resort to third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting packages will allow you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only a few clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of accounts that you can set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you need at any given time. In case you do not want to use a specific FTP account anymore or if a web designer has accomplished their job and you do not want them to connect to your web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to see all currently existing accounts listed in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with one click. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have an extensive Help database, which can help you administer your FTP accounts should you need to deal with any difficulties.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve picked during the registration process, since the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll get. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not need a specific account anymore, you can simply remove it and block individuals who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a web developer or in case an IT expert quits the company and you do not want them to access the website files any longer. An extensive Help library that includes tutorial videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not have any prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS
With a virtual private server from us, you will get the opportunity to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS configurations, regardless of which Control Panel you’ve selected during the signup procedure – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Depending on your needs, you can have a separate FTP account for every site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – if you would like to allow a number of people to connect to that folder using their very own set of sign-in credentials. Even if you have never opened a website hosting account before or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any problems setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the VPS server, as everything is done through an intuitive web-based interface and takes only a few clicks of the mouse.
