File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most famous method for sending web content to a hosting account. Using an FTP program that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can establish a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with several mouse clicks. This is done via a simple-to-work-with GUI and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’re able to set up different accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you want to provide a third party with access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a particular folder and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, including personal details. Three things are compulsory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP address, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to specify what files and folders each account can access. There is no upper limit to the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. In case you do not want to use a particular FTP account anymore or if a web designer has done their job and you do not want them to connect to your web content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to view all currently active accounts displayed alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with a single mouse click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have an extensive Help library, which can help you administer your FTP accounts in case you run into any difficulty.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a different FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t put a restriction on this service with any of our plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a specific account or to change its access path with a few clicks. You can also delete an account effortlessly in case you don’t need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web designer who is finished with the site and you do not want them to be able to connect to your files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we’ve compiled different instructional videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort if you have never used a hosting package before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the opportunity to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS server plans, irrespective of which Control Panel you’ve picked upon signup – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. Depending on your necessities, you can have a separate FTP account for each website or a number of accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you’d like to permit a number of people to connect to that folder with their own personal login credentials. Even if you’ve never had a hosting account previously or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties creating, deleting or modifying any FTP account on the VPS server, as everything’s done through a time and effort saving web interface and takes only a few mouse clicks.
