FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to upload and download files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can complete their job without being able to view any other content in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous websites using web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be rather easy with any of our shared web hosting plans. This functionality isn’t restricted, so with our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your sites and to get your website-connected tasks done. If you hire a designer and they’re done with the website, for example, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just one click via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to see a list of all the accounts that you have created and the directories that they can access. Useful functions such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP software apps are also only a click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server plan that you’ve picked during the subscription process, as the FTP access is one of the default features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your website content too. All the accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you do not require a particular account any longer, you can just remove it and stop people who have used it previously from connecting to it again. This option is especially handy in case you use the services of a designer or in case an IT specialist departs the company and you don’t want them to access the website files any longer. An exhaustive Help library that comprises educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you don’t possess previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you’ll be given the option to set up unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all VPS server configurations, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you’ve chosen during the signup process – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Based on your necessities, you can have a different FTP account for each site or several accounts with access to a given folder – if you wish to permit a number of persons to be able to connect to that folder using their very own set of log-in credentials. Even if you have never opened a website hosting account before or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties creating, removing or modifying any FTP account on the machine, as everything is done through a simple-to-navigate web-based interface and takes only a few mouse clicks.
