FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for exchanging website files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll need 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 used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their job without being able to see any other directory in the website hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous Internet sites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be quite easy with each of our Linux shared website hosting plans. This functionality is not restricted, so using our simple-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to manage your websites and to get your web-related tasks completed. If you hire a developer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can update the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one single click of the mouse from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can access. Handy options such as modifying the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP client applications are also just a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated plans are very powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting a lot of sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you will be able to view the access path and to modify it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up a new account in a client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your computer system, which will save you time. In case you have never opened a web hosting account before, you can check out our comprehensive educational video clips, which can be accessed through the same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the chance to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server plans, irrespective of which hosting Control Panel you’ve chosen during the registration procedure – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Based on your needs, you can set up a different FTP account for every site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you’d like to allow different persons to be able to connect to that folder using their own personal log-in credentials. Even if you’ve never opened a hosting account before or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problem setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the Virtual Private Server, as everything’s done through a user-friendly GUI and takes only a couple of mouse clicks.
