File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, represents one of the most widely used methods of sending website files between a PC and a server. Using FTP client software 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 do the rest. There’re a number of advantages of using FTP, including the possibility to resume a download/upload when there’s a problem with the connection and the option to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other information, which makes it the best solution particularly in case you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you have created directly from them, without the need to use any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only several clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each one can access. There is no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any given time. In case you don’t want to use a certain FTP account any longer or in case a designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to connect to your website content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically, along with various options, which you can access with a single click. You will be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have comprehensive help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you run into any complication.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server plan that you’ve opted for during the signup process, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll be able to use. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can create as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content as well. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t need a particular account any longer, you can simply remove it and prevent persons who have used it before from connecting to it again. The latter option is particularly handy in case you use the services of a web developer or in case an IT individual departs your company and you don’t want them to connect to the web files any longer. An exhaustive Help database that contains educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not possess prior experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS servers offered by us includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can set up a separate FTP account for any Internet site hosted on the VPS, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. What’s more, it does not matter which Control Panel you will pick when you register – cPanel or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want several persons to be able to establish an FTP connection to the exact same directory using their very own set of log-in credentials, for example, it’ll take several mouse clicks to set up an FTP account for each of them. Removing an active account or modifying the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t experience any impediment, even if you do not have past experience in such matters.
