FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular way to upload and download website files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make 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 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. File Transfer Protocol is used by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their task without being able to view any other folder in the web hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous sites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be incredibly easy with each of our Linux shared website hosting packages. This functionality is not limited, so using our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-connected tasks completed. If you hire a web designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can change the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and what folders they can access. Handy functions such as updating the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for commonly used FTP software programs are also just one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated plan that you have chosen during the signup process, as the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to set up as many accounts as you like from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you do not require a specific account anymore, you can just delete it and stop people who have used it previously from connecting to it again. The latter option is particularly useful if you use the services of a designer or in case an IT professional exits the company and you don’t want them to access the web files anymore. A detailed Help library that comprises educational video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any prior experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you will be given the possibility to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server setups, regardless of the Control Panel that you’ve selected during the registration procedure – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. Depending on your demands, you can create a separate FTP account for every Internet site or several accounts with access to a specific folder – in case you want to allow different users to connect to that folder with their very own set of sign-in credentials. Even if you have never used a hosting account previously or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problem setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on your virtual machine, since everything’s done through an easy-to-work-with web interface and takes just a few mouse clicks.
