FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to transmit website files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All it takes to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to see any other directory in the hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites with web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only several clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what files and folders each account can connect to. There is no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. If you do not want to use a specific FTP account anymore or if a web designer has fulfilled their job and you do not want them to access your web content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with a single click. You will be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have an exhaustive Help library, which can help you administer your FTP accounts in case you come across any problem.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, as we haven’t restricted this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you will be able to update the password for a certain FTP account or to edit its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account with ease if you do not need it anymore – for example, if you have hired a developer who’s finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to access your files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we’ve prepared different instructional videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts with ease in case you have never used a web hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from our company, you will be given the option to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, regardless of the Control Panel that you’ve picked during the VPS order process – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Depending on your necessities, you can create a separate FTP account for every Internet site or several FTP accounts with access to a given folder – in case you’d like to permit different individuals to connect to that folder with their very own sign-in credentials. Even if you’ve never opened a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you will not have any problems creating, deleting or editing any FTP account on the VPS, since everything’s done through an intuitive web-based interface and takes only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
