FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most famous means for uploading and downloading web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software itself will take care of the rest. There’re several pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the option to restart a download/upload in case there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the option to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the best option particularly if you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the Linux cloud hosting that we’re offering, since we have decided not to limit this feature. Thus, you can have multiple sites simultaneously or provide other persons with access to different directories. As soon as a given task has been fulfilled and you don’t want that individual to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can update the password for the specific FTP account or you can simply delete that account with a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying about someone accessing it once more. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting accounts, will allow you to view the full list of the existing FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one click to administer various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t put a restriction on this service with any of our plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you will be able to update the password for a given FTP account or to update its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account without any effort in case you don’t need it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a web developer who is done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we’ve shot a number of tutorial video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without efforts if you have never used a website hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server packages offered by us will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which Virtual Private Server package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you pick on the order page – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In any case, you’ll be provided with FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without installing any software, as an FTP server is an integral part of the software suite which is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you have or even separate FTP accounts for one single directory – if you want several individuals to be able to access the website content in it using their very own personal sign-in details. With each of the offered Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account requires no more than several mouse clicks via an easy-to-use interface.
