FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widely used means for transmitting files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will cope with all the rest. There’re a number of advantages of using FTP, including the option to resume an upload/download if there’s some problem with the connection and the possibility to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other info, which makes it the very best solution particularly in case you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without having to make use of third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be amazingly easy with any of our cloud website hosting. This service isn’t restricted, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your web-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a web developer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can update the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one single mouse click via the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve set up and what folders they can access. Handy options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP clients are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t set a limit on this service with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you will be able to change the password for a given account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account without effort in case you don’t need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a designer who’s finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we’ve compiled different how-to videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without efforts if you’ve never used a hosting plan before.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans that we offer will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS plan you order and which hosting Control Panel you pick during the signup process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will be given FTP access to the virtual server without the need to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the software bundle which comes with the VPS packages by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you’ve registered or even several FTP accounts for a single directory – in case you want different users to connect to the web content inside it with their own sign-in details. With any of the offered Control Panels, setting up, deleting or modifying an FTP account will require no more than a few mouse clicks via a user-friendly graphical interface.
