FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular way to transmit website files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All it takes to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can complete their task without accessing any other directory in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous websites with web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will permit you to create multiple FTP accounts with only several mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to select what files and folders each account can access. There is no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you can have as many as you want at any given time. In case you do not want to use a particular FTP account any longer or if a web designer has done their job and you do not want them to connect to your web content any longer, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with one single click of the mouse. You will be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have a detailed Help section, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any obstacles.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages are truly powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting numerous sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate FTP account for each site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to see the access path and to modify it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up an account in your preferred FTP client by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your home PC, which will save you time. In case you’ve never had a web hosting account before, you can check out our detailed educational videos, which are available in the exact same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
With a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be given the opportunity to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, irrespective of the Control Panel that you have selected during the signup process – cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your necessities, you can set up a different FTP account for each Internet site or several FTP accounts with access to a specific folder – in case you want to permit different persons to be able to connect to that folder using their own personal login details. Even if you’ve never had a web hosting account previously or if you have experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problems setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the virtual machine, since everything is done via a simple-to-use graphical interface and takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
