FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for transmitting website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their task without being able to view any other directory in your website hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple sites using web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Our hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only several clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what files and folders each one can connect to. There is no upper limit to the total number of accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any particular time. If you would not like to use a given FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to connect to your web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one mouse click. You will be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have elaborate help tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you need to deal with any difficulty.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans are very powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting lots of websites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to put a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each Internet site that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you’ll be able to see the access path and to update it, if necessary. Also, you can set up the account in your favorite FTP client by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your computer, which will save you time. In case you have never used a web hosting account previously, you can watch our elaborate educational videos, which can be accessed through the same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from us, you’ll get the chance to set up unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS server configurations, no matter which Control Panel you’ve selected during the signup process – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Depending on your demands, you can create a separate FTP account for every site or several FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you’d like to allow a number of persons to connect to that folder with their own login details. Even if you have never opened a website hosting account before or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problems creating, deleting or editing any FTP account on your server, as everything’s done through an easy-to-navigate web-based interface and takes just a few mouse clicks.
