FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for transmitting website content to a web hosting account. Using an FTP app that’s pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this using an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’ll be able to set up different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you have to grant somebody access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to access only a particular directory and will not be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, including private details. Three prerequisites are required in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Creating and managing multiple FTP accounts will be incredibly easy with any of our shared web hosting. This feature isn’t restricted, so using our simple-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-connected tasks completed. If you hire a developer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with only one single click from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to see a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can access. Useful options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP software applications are also only one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, as we have not limited this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you’ll be able to modify the password for a specific account or to edit its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also delete an account without any effort if you do not require it anymore – for instance, if you’ve hired a web designer who is done with the website and you don’t want them to access your files any longer. For your convenience, we have created a number of educational video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without any effort in case you have never used a web hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS servers that we are offering has any cap on the number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create an FTP account for any Internet site hosted on your Virtual Private Server, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine during the configuration of any of them. In case you want several people to be able to connect to the very same folder using their own sign-in credentials, for instance, it will take several clicks of the mouse to set up a different FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the folder that it can connect to is just as easy and you will not encounter any difficulty, even if you don’t have any previous experience in such matters.
