FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to transfer files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do 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 create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to access any other content in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple sites with web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Our hosting packages will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you are allowed to set up, so you will be able to have as many as you need at any given time. In case you do not want to use a given FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has fulfilled their task and you do not want them to connect to the website content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically, along with various options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have comprehensive help tutorials, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you experience any difficulty.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t set a limit on this functionality with any of our plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to edit the password for a specific FTP account or to update its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account without any effort if you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a designer who is finished with the site and you do not want them to be able to connect to your files any longer. For your convenience, we’ve prepared a number of educational video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort in case you’ve never used a web hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS

The virtual private server packages that we’re offering will permit you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS package you buy and which Control Panel you select during the registration process – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In all cases, you will be granted FTP access to the machine without installing any software, as an FTP server is part of the standard software suite that is included in the VPS packages by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you own or even several accounts for a single directory – in case you want a number of individuals to access the website content in it with their own login details. With each of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account takes no more than a couple of mouse clicks through an easy-to-work-with web interface.
