FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for sending website files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to see any other folder in the web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple Internet sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Each of the web hosting plans that we offer will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to provide other people with access to any Internet site in your website hosting account. If you’ve got a web design software app pre-installed on your PC, you’ll be able to run multiple sites all at once and to keep them updated without any effort. If you give the login credentials to another person to do a specific task, you will be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it altogether with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and prevent any chance of unsolicited access to your web content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Using our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you would like, even multiple accounts with access to the same folder – in case you want several persons to be able to access the exact same web content with entirely different login details. Our semi-dedicated hosting service do not include any limit on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can manage at a time, so you will be able to manage your website files and to modify your Internet sites with no effort. In case you want to limit the access to your website content, you can change the directory that an account can access or you can remove the account completely with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse via the Control Panel. You will be able to view all the FTP accounts and to edit any of them, if necessary. For the sake of convenience, you can also download an auto-configuration file for different FTP client apps. In addition, we’ve got in-depth step-by-step articles and tutorial video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without any hassles.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS servers that we offer includes a cap on the number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can set up a separate FTP account for each Internet site hosted on the virtual server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Also, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will select when you order – Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. In case you want a number of individuals to make an FTP connection to the exact same folder using their own log-in credentials, for instance, it’ll take a couple of clicks to set up a different FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t have any difficulties, even if you have no prior experience in such matters.
