FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to upload and download website files between a home PC and a server. Using an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and check 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 whole folders 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 create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to access any other folder in your web hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous websites using web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Any of the shared website hosting packages offered by us will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your sites separately or to grant other people access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. In case you have a web design application installed on your personal computer, you’ll be able to manage multiple websites at the same time and to keep them up to date without any efforts. In case you give the login information to some other individual for a particular task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with only a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any possibility of unsolicited access to your content from then on. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a different FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t set a restriction on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the accounts that you’ve set up, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to update the password for a specific account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not require it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a web designer who is finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to access your web files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we have shot different tutorial video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts in case you have never used a hosting package before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS hosting plans that we are offering has a limitation on the total number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create a separate account for each site hosted on your VPS server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. What’s more, it does not matter which Control Panel you’ll pick when you join – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of persons to make an FTP connection to the same directory using their very own set of log-in details, for instance, it’ll take a few clicks to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or changing the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t come across any complication, even if you don’t have any prior experience in such matters.
