FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widespread methods for transmitting website files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will do the rest. There are a number of benefits of using File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to restart an upload/download when there’s a problem with the connection or the option to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the ideal option especially if you need to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Our web hosting plans will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what files and folders each account can connect to. There is no upper limit on the total number of accounts that you are allowed to set up, so you will be able to have as many as you wish at any given moment. In case you do not want to use a specific FTP account any longer or if a web designer has completed their task 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 see all currently active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with a single mouse click. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have an exhaustive Help database, which will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you have any impediment.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Using our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like, even separate accounts that can access one and the same directory – if you want several people to be able to connect to the very same web content with totally different login details. Our semi-dedicated servers do not involve a limit on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can manage at the same time, so you will be able to manage your website files and to modify your sites with ease. If you would like to block the access to your website content, you can alter the directory that an account can access or you can delete the account altogether with no more than a few clicks of the mouse through the Control Panel. You will be able to check all the accounts and to edit any of them, if needed. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for several FTP apps. What’s more, we have detailed step-by-step articles and how-to videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without hassle.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers that we are offering includes a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can set up a separate FTP account for each site hosted on your virtual machine, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or subdomain. Also, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick when you register – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different users to be able to establish an FTP connection to the exact same folder using their very own sign-in credentials, for example, it’ll take a few clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or changing the folder that it can connect to is just as simple and you won’t experience any difficulty, even if you lack previous experience in such matters.
