FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for transmitting files between a home computer and a server. Using an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their task without being able to see any other directory in the web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple Internet 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 permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what website files and folders each account can connect to. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any particular time. If you wouldn’t like to use a specific FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has completed their job and you don’t want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to view all currently active accounts displayed alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have elaborate help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you experience any difficulty.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated package that you have chosen during the signup process, since the FTP access is one of the standard features that you will get. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can create as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not require a specific account any longer, you can just remove it and prevent individuals who have used it before from connecting to it again. This option is especially handy in case you use the services of a web developer or in case an IT professional departs the company and you do not want them to connect to the website files anymore. A detailed Help database that contains educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not possess any past experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from us, you will have the ability to create unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server plans, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you’ve picked on the order page – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Depending on your needs, you can have a separate FTP account for every website or several FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you want to permit several users to be able to connect to that folder using their own log-in details. Even if you’ve never opened a hosting account before or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problems creating, removing or modifying any FTP account on the machine, as everything is done through an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and takes just a couple of clicks.
