FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular ways to exchange web files between a computer system and a web server. Using FTP client software such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software will deal with all the rest. There are several advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to restart a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection or the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other info, which makes it the very best option especially if you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you have created straight from them, without the need to make use of any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what files and folders each one can connect to. There is no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you will be able to have as many as you want at any given moment. In case you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account any longer or if a web designer has fulfilled their job and you don’t want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently active FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one single click. You will be able to modify the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have comprehensive help tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have any obstacle.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated plans are exceptionally powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting many websites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each Internet site that you host on our cloud platform. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you’ll be able to check the access path and to update it, if necessary. Also, you can set up an account in an FTP client by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your home PC, which will save you time. In case you have never used a hosting account before, you can check our exhaustive educational video clips, which can be accessed through the exact same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS hosting plans that we are offering includes a limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up a separate account for any website hosted on your virtual server, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose when you join – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS during the configuration of any of them. In case you want a number of people to be able to establish an FTP connection to one and the same directory with their own log-in credentials, for instance, it’ll take a couple of clicks to create an FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as simple and you will not come across any complication, even if you don’t have prior experience in such matters.
