FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transferring web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up 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 it takes 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 lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without being able to see any other folder in the hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous Internet sites with web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be pretty easy with any of our shared plans. This service isn’t restricted, so using our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks done. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the website, for instance, you can change the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one single mouse click via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have created and what directories they can connect to. Handy options such as updating the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for popular FTP clients are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated server package that you have selected upon registration, since the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to take advantage of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not need a certain account anymore, you can just remove it and prevent individuals who have used it before from connecting to it again. This functionality is particularly handy in case you use the services of a web designer or if an IT specialist exits the firm and you don’t want them to access the website files any longer. An elaborate Help repository that includes how-to video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you don’t possess prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS web hosting plans that we are offering includes any restriction on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can set up an FTP account for each website hosted on the server, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Besides, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will pick when you sign up – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, since an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine during the installation of any of them. If you want different users to be able to access the very same directory with their own log-in credentials, for instance, it will take a few mouse clicks to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t need to deal with any impediments, even if you do not have prior experience in such matters.
