FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of sending files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All it takes to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to access any other directory in the hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous sites using web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with any of the Linux shared packages that we’re offering, as we’ve decided not to restrict this feature. In this way, you can manage numerous Internet sites all at once or grant other persons access to multiple directories. As soon as a particular task has been done and you would not like that person to be able to connect to your files any longer, you can change the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just delete the account with a few clicks and stop worrying about anyone connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all hosting plans, will allow you to see the complete list of the existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically. It takes only one single click to administer various options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated server plan that you have selected upon registration, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to make use of. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you need from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a given account anymore, you can simply remove it and block persons who have used it previously from accessing it again. This option is especially handy if you use the services of a developer or in case an IT expert leaves your firm and you do not want them to access the web files any longer. An exhaustive Help section that contains instructional videos will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you don’t have past experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS

With a virtual private server from our company, you will be given the ability to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS setups, regardless of which Control Panel you’ve selected during the server order procedure – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Depending on your demands, you can have a different FTP account for each Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you would like to allow a number of people to connect to that folder with their own sign-in credentials. Even if you’ve never used a hosting account previously or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problems creating, removing or modifying any FTP account on the virtual server, as everything is done through a user-friendly GUI and takes just a couple of clicks.
