FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widely used methods of transmitting web files between a computer and a web server. With FTP software such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will do all the rest. There’re several pluses of employing FTP, among them the ability to resume an upload/download if there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other information, which makes it the ideal option when you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you have created directly from them, without the need to make use of any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a few mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to choose what web files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you will be able to have as many as you need at any particular time. In case you wouldn’t like to use a specific FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has done their job and you do not want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently active accounts listed alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with one mouse click. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have an elaborate Help database, which can help you manage your FTP accounts in case you encounter any difficulties.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated package that you have chosen at signup, since the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to use. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can set up as many accounts as you like through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you don’t require a particular account any longer, you can simply delete it and block persons who have used it previously from accessing it again. This functionality is particularly useful if you use the services of a web designer or if an IT specialist retires from the firm and you do not want them to connect to the website files any longer. A detailed Help repository that contains how-to videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t have any previous experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server plans offered by our company will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid irrespective of which plan you purchase and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the VPS order process – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In any case, you will gain FTP access to the server without installing any kind of software, since an FTP server is part of the basic software suite which comes with the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you have or even separate accounts for one single directory – if you want several individuals to connect to the website content inside it using their own set of sign-in details. With any of the offered Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account will require no more than a few mouse clicks through a user-friendly interface.
