FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most popular methods of uploading and downloading web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will cope with the rest. There’re several pros of using FTP, including the possibility to resume a download/upload when there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the best option especially if you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to resort to third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Creating and managing multiple FTP accounts will be rather easy with any of our shared hosting plans. This functionality is not restricted, so with our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to manage your sites and to get your web-related tasks accomplished. If you hire a developer and they’re done with the site, for example, you can modify the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one click of the mouse through the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can connect to. Handy options such as updating the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for popular FTP client apps are also only one mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans are rather powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting a large number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided 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 semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you’ll be able to see the access path and to change it, if necessary. Also, you can set up an account in your preferred FTP client by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your home computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never used a web hosting account previously, you can check out our detailed educational videos, which can be accessed through the very same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans offered by us will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which VPS plan you purchase and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the server order process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will get FTP access to the VPS without having to install any kind of software, as an FTP server is part of the software stack which is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have registered or even separate accounts for one single folder – in case you want several persons to connect to the web content in it with their very own set of sign-in details. With any of the offered Control Panels, setting up, deleting or editing an FTP account will require no more than several clicks of the mouse via an easy-to-use graphical interface.
