FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of transmitting web files between a home computer and a server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you 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 used by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to see any other directory in your web hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple Internet sites using web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with just several clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to select what website files and folders each one can connect to. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you like at any particular time. If you don’t want to use a specific FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has fulfilled their job and you don’t want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to see all currently active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with one single mouse click. You will be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have comprehensive help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you encounter any problems.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we have not set a limit on this service with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a given FTP account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts in case you don’t need it anymore – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who’s done with the website and you don’t want them to connect to your files anymore. For your convenience, we have compiled a number of educational video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort if you’ve never used a hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS hosting plans offered by our company has any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up a separate account for each site hosted on your machine, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. In addition, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll choose when you sign up – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on your VPS during the configuration of any of them. If you want several persons to be able to access the exact same directory with their own set of log-in details, for example, it will take a couple of clicks to create a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as simple and you will not come across any problem, even if you do not have any past experience in such matters.
