FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most widely used ways to exchange website files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will cope with all the rest. There’re a number of pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the option to restart a download/upload if there’s some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the perfect solution especially when you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to make use of 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only a few clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to select what website files and folders each account can access. There is no upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you wish at any particular moment. If you wouldn’t like to use a given FTP account any longer or if a designer has completed their job and you do not want them to connect to the web content any longer, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to check all currently active accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You’ll be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have an exhaustive Help database, which can help you manage your FTP accounts in case you have to deal with any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t limited this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated 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 will be able to update the password for a certain FTP account or to update its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without efforts in case you don’t require it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a designer who is finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we’ve prepared different educational video clips, that will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly if you’ve never used a hosting package before.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
The virtual private server plans that we’re offering will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS package you get and which Control Panel you select at signup – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. In any case, you’ll get FTP access to the VPS without having to install any kind of software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software suite that is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you host or even separate FTP accounts for a single folder – if you want several individuals to connect to the web content in it using their own personal login credentials. With each of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account requires no more than several mouse clicks via an easy-to-navigate interface.
