FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most popular means of uploading and downloading files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client like FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will cope with the rest. There’re several pros of employing FTP, among them the possibility to restart an upload/download in case there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other info, which makes it the very best option if you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you have created straight from them, without having to use any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with just several clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of accounts that you are allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any particular time. In case you don’t want to use a given FTP account anymore or if a designer has fulfilled their task and you do not want them to connect to your web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with a single click of the mouse. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have an extensive Help library, which will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you come across any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers are incredibly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a huge number of sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate FTP account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to update it, if needed. Furthermore, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your home PC, which will save you time. In case you’ve never opened a web hosting account previously, you can watch our exhaustive tutorial video clips, which can be accessed through the very same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you will get the chance to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you have picked during the signup process – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your requirements, you can set up a different FTP account for each website or several accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you would like to permit a number of persons to connect to that folder with their own personal log-in credentials. Even if you have never opened a hosting account previously or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on the VPS server, since everything’s done through an easy-to-work-with graphical interface and takes just a couple of clicks.
