FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous way to transfer website files to a web hosting account. With an FTP application that’s installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with a few clicks. This is done via a simple-to-use interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you can create several FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to give someone access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to access only a particular directory and won’t be able to access the rest of your web content or any other information, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are required in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the Linux hosting packages offered by our company, because we have decided not to limit this service. Thus, you can run multiple sites at the same time or grant other persons access to different directories. Once a specific job has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just delete that account with several mouse clicks and stop worrying about somebody using it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared plans, will allow you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one single mouse click to manage different options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, since we have not put a limit on this functionality with any of our packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to update the password for a given FTP account or to edit its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without any effort if you do not need it any longer – for example, if you have hired a web developer who is done with the Internet site and you do not want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we’ve selected a number of educational video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a web hosting package before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you will have the opportunity to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all virtual server packages, no matter the hosting Control Panel that you have chosen during the subscription procedure – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. Depending on your demands, you can set up a separate FTP account for every Internet site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a particular folder – if you’d like to permit different individuals to be able to access that folder with their very own log-in details. Even if you have never opened a website hosting account before or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problem setting up, deleting or modifying any FTP account on the server, since everything is done via an easy-to-work-with web interface and takes only a few clicks.
