FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widespread methods for uploading and downloading website files between a PC and a server. With an FTP program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software itself will handle the rest. There are several pluses of using File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume an upload/download if there’s a problem with the connection or the possibility to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the best option especially if you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you have created directly from them, without the need to resort to any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Each of the shared website hosting plans that we are offering will enable you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to give other people access to any website in your web hosting account. If you have a web design software application pre-installed on your home PC, you will be able to manage multiple sites all at once and to keep them up to date effortlessly. In case you provide the login info to some other person to carry out a specific task, you will be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it altogether with only a few mouse clicks and avoid any chance of unsolicited access to your website content from then on. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a different FTP account for each of them, since we have not put a restriction on this service with any of our plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve 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 modify its access path with a couple of mouse clicks. You can also remove an account with ease in case you no longer need it – for instance, if you’ve hired a web designer who’s done with the website and you don’t want them to be able to access your files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we’ve selected a number of instructional video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort in case you have never used a hosting plan previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
In case you open a VPS plans with us and select any of the 3 Control Panels that we are offering – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, an FTP server will be installed on your virtual machine, since it is part of the software bundle that comes with all VPS servers ordered with a hosting Control Panel. This will allow you to set up as many FTP accounts as you need and to choose which folder each one of them can access. If you want, you can even create separate accounts for the very same domain name and give different individuals their own set of log-in credentials to connect to the web content. Each of the three hosting Control Panels will give you the chance to create, to edit or to remove an FTP account in several easy steps and with less than several clicks, so even in case you do not possess prior experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account without hassles.
