FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transferring website files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to access any other directory in your web hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple sites using web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will permit you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a few clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what web files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you want at any particular moment. In case you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently existing accounts shown alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with a single click. You will be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have a detailed Help section, which can help you manage your FTP accounts in case you run into any complication.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you would like, even separate accounts with access to one and the same folder – if you want several individuals to be able to connect to the same website content with different login credentials. Our semi-dedicated hosting service do not include any limit on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can have at the same time, so you will be able to administer your website files and to modify your sites without effort. In case you’d like to restrict the access to your website content, you can alter the folder that an account can access or you can delete the account completely with no more than a few clicks of the mouse from the Control Panel. You will be able to view all the FTP accounts and to edit any of them, if needed. For convenience’s sake, you can also download an auto-configuration file for various FTP client apps. Furthermore, we have prepared comprehensive help articles and tutorial video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without any hassle.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages offered by our company will enable you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which VPS plan you buy and which hosting Control Panel you select during the signup procedure – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In any case, you’ll gain FTP access to the server without having to install any kind of software, as an FTP server is an integral part of the basic software bundle that is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you host or even multiple accounts for a single directory – in case you want different persons to access the web content in it using their own set of log-in credentials. With each of the offered Control Panels, creating, deleting or editing an FTP account takes no more than a few mouse clicks via a simple-to-work-with web-based interface.
