FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for transferring web files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to access any other directory in your hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous Internet sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Our hosting plans will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to select what files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you want at any particular moment. In case you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a web designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to access the website content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to view all currently active accounts listed in alphabetical order, together with different options, which you can access with one single mouse click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have a comprehensive Help library, which can help you administer your FTP accounts if you need to deal with any complication.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated package that you have chosen on the order page, as the FTP access is one of the default features that you’ll get. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your website content as well. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you do not need a particular account anymore, you can just remove it and prevent persons who have used it previously from accessing it again. This functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a web developer or if an IT person quits your company and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. An elaborate Help section that comprises tutorial videos will help you administer your FTP accounts if you don’t have any prior experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers that we’re offering includes a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create a separate account for any website hosted on the machine, regardless of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will select when you order – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on the VPS during the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of people to be able to set up a connection to the very same directory using their very own sign-in details, for example, it will take a couple of clicks to create a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as simple and you will not experience any problem, even if you lack prior experience in such matters.
