FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of sending files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their task without being able to see any other folder in the web hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous websites using web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux hosting services offered by us, as we have decided not to limit this service. In this way, you can manage multiple Internet sites simultaneously or give other persons access to multiple folders. As soon as a particular task has been accomplished and you would not like that person to be able to connect to your files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the given FTP account or you can just remove the account with a few clicks and stop worrying about anyone using it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting plans, will permit you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes just one mouse click to administer different options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve opted for during the signup process, as the FTP access is one of the standard features that you will be able to take advantage of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can create as many accounts as you wish from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content too. All the FTP accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not need a specific account anymore, you can simply delete it and block persons who have used it before from accessing it again. This option is particularly useful if you use the services of a developer or if an IT specialist retires from the firm and you don’t want them to access the website files any longer. An elaborate Help library that comprises video tutorials will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not possess previous experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server plans offered by us will enable you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which package you purchase and which hosting Control Panel you select during the order process – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. In any case, you will gain FTP access to the machine without installing any software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the standard software stack which comes with the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you have or even multiple FTP accounts for one single directory – in case you want several people to connect to the website content in it with their very own personal sign-in credentials. With any of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account will require no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse through a simple-to-work-with GUI.
