FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method of sending files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can do their job without being able to access any other directory in your web hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous websites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any given time. In case you would not like to use a given FTP account any longer or in case a designer has done their task and you don’t want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to see all currently existing accounts listed in alphabetical order, together with different options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have a comprehensive Help section, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you encounter any impediment.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans are extremely powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting an extensive number of websites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different FTP account for each website that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you will be able to see the access path and to modify it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your desire by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your computer system, which will save you time. In case you’ve never had a hosting account before, you can check our elaborate educational video clips, which can be accessed through the very same section of the Control Panel.

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 Internet sites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server package you purchase and which Control Panel you pick at signup – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In all cases, you’ll receive FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without installing any software, as an FTP server is part of the basic software bundle which is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you’ve registered or even multiple FTP accounts for one single folder – if you want different individuals to connect to the web content in it with their own set of login details. With each of the offered Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account will take no more than a few clicks through an easy-to-navigate GUI.
