FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for transmitting files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll 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 used by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their job without being able to see any other folder in the website hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create numerous websites using web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Any of the cloud website hosting plans that we are offering will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to grant other people access to any Internet site in your hosting account. If you have a web design software app installed on your home PC, you’ll be able to maintain multiple websites all at once and to update them without effort. If you give the login info to another person for a given task, you will be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to remove it entirely with only a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any possibility of unauthorized access to your web content from then on. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, since we have not put a restriction on this service with any of our packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a given FTP account or to update its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without any effort in case you don’t need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who is finished with the Internet site and you do not want them to access your files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we’ve prepared a number of educational videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort in case you’ve never used a hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS

None of the VPS that we’re offering has any cap on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can set up a separate FTP account for each website hosted on your server, no matter if it is under a domain or sub-domain. In addition, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick when you join – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS during the installation of any of them. If you want several individuals to be able to connect to the same directory using their own set of sign-in credentials, for instance, it will take a couple of clicks of the mouse to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you will not have any impediment, even if you don’t have any past experience in such matters.
