FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to transmit web files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP 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 carry out their task without accessing any other directory in your website hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple websites using web design applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the Linux shared packages offered by our company, as we’ve chosen not to restrict this service. In this way, you can maintain multiple Internet sites at once or provide other people with access to multiple folders. Once a specific job has been done and you would not like that individual to be able to access your files any longer, you can update the password for the FTP account in question or you can simply delete the account with several clicks and quit worrying about someone accessing it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting plans, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only a click to manage various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t limited this service with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our simple-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to modify its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also delete an account with ease in case you no longer require it – for instance, if you have hired a web designer who is finished with the Internet site and you do not want them to connect to your files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have compiled a number of instructional video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a website hosting plan before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server plans offered by our company will enable you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS plan you buy and which Control Panel you choose during the server order procedure – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. In all cases, you’ll be granted FTP access to the virtual machine without having to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the software stack which comes with the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you have registered or even different FTP accounts for a single directory – if you want different persons to connect to the web content inside it using their own personal login details. With any of the Control Panels, setting up, deleting or modifying an FTP account will take no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse via an easy-to-navigate interface.
