FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular methods of transmitting files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can connect to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software itself will do all the rest. There are several pluses of using File Transfer Protocol, including the option to resume an upload/download in case there is a problem with the connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other info, which makes it the very best option especially when you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to make use of 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Each of the shared hosting plans that we offer will permit you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your Internet sites independently or to grant other persons access to any site in your website hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design software app pre-installed on your PC, you’ll be able to maintain numerous Internet sites at once and to keep them updated without any efforts. If you give the login info to some other individual to do a certain task, you will be able to update the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with only a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any risk of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a different FTP account for each of them, since we have not set a limit on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you’ll be able to edit the password for a specific account or to change its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also remove an account with ease if you don’t need it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a web developer who is done with the website and you do not want them to be able to access your website files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we have made a number of tutorial video clips, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort in case you have never used a hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS

With a virtual private server from our company, you will have the ability to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS server plans, regardless of which hosting Control Panel you’ve chosen during the registration process – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Depending on your necessities, you can set up a different FTP account for every site or several accounts with access to a certain folder – if you would like to permit different persons to be able to access that folder using their own set of log-in credentials. Even if you have never opened a hosting account previously or if you have experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the Virtual Private Server, since everything is done via an easy-to-navigate web-based interface and takes just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
