FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most commonly used methods of exchanging web files between a PC and a server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software itself will handle all the rest. There are several benefits of employing FTP, including the possibility to restart an upload/download when there is some problem with the FTP connection or the option to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the very best option especially when you need to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what web files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit to the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you want at any particular time. In case you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account anymore or in case a designer has accomplished their job and you do not want them to connect to the web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to see all currently active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have exhaustive help tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you need to deal with any problem.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t limited this service with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a specific account or to modify its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account with ease if you don’t require it anymore – for example, if you have hired a designer who is done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have compiled a number of video tutorials, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort in case you’ve never used a web hosting plan previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

None of the VPS web hosting offered by us includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can set up an account for any site hosted on your Virtual Private Server, regardless of whether it is under a domain or subdomain. Also, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll choose when you sign up – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on the VPS during the installation of any of them. If you want a number of users to be able to connect to one and the same folder using their own set of login details, for instance, it’ll take a few mouse clicks to create an FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or changing the folder that it can access is just as easy and you will not experience any problem, even if you don’t have previous experience in such matters.
