FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for transferring web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to access any other content in the web hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous Internet sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with any of the website hosting packages offered by our company, since we have decided not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can run numerous Internet sites all at once or give other persons access to different directories. As soon as a certain task has been done and you would not like that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can change the password for the specific FTP account or you can just delete that account with a few mouse clicks and stop worrying about someone accessing it once more. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting accounts, will allow you to see the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just one click of the mouse to administer various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t restricted this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our simple-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If necessary, you will be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also delete an account with ease if you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who is finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to access your website files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we have selected a number of how-to videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts with ease if you have never used a website hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be given the option to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server packages, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you have picked during the order process – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Depending on your requirements, you can create a separate FTP account for every website or several FTP accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you’d like to allow different users to be able to access that folder with their very own log-in details. Even if you have never used a website hosting account before or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on your server, since everything’s done via a time and effort saving interface and takes only a few mouse clicks.
