FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method of uploading and downloading files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you will need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their task without being able to view any other directory in your hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple Internet sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be quite easy with any of our shared web hosting. This functionality is not limited, so using our easy-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-related tasks done. In case you hire a developer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can modify the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one click from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to see a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up and what directories they can access. Useful functions such as editing the password or the path and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP applications are also only one click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the plan that you have chosen upon registration, since the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you want from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you do not require a specific account anymore, you can just remove it and prevent persons who have used it previously from connecting to it again. This functionality is particularly useful if you use the services of a designer or in case an IT person departs the company and you do not want them to connect to the website files anymore. A comprehensive Help section that comprises how-to video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not have any prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages offered by our company will allow you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid irrespective of which plan you buy and which Control Panel you choose upon signup – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In any case, you’ll be given FTP access to the VPS without the need to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the standard software bundle which comes with the VPS packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have registered or even separate FTP accounts for one single folder – in case you want a number of persons to connect to the website content in it using their own log-in credentials. With any of the Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account takes no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse through an easy-to-navigate GUI.
