FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widely used methods of sending website files between a computer system and a web server. Using FTP client software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will take care of all the rest. There are several advantages of using File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume an upload/download when there is some problem with the connection and the ability to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the perfect solution particularly if you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to use 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be pretty easy with each of our Linux shared hosting packages. This functionality is not restricted, so using our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to administer your sites and to get your web-related tasks accomplished. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one single click from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to see a list of all the accounts that you have created and the directories that they can connect to. Handy functions such as updating the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP client programs are also just one click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve picked during the order process, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a specific account any longer, you can simply delete it and stop persons who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a designer or in case an IT individual departs the firm and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. A comprehensive Help repository that contains tutorial videos will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you have no prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
With a virtual private server from us, you’ll be given the chance to create unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS server setups, regardless of which hosting Control Panel you have selected during the order procedure – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Depending on your needs, you can set up a different FTP account for every website or a number of FTP accounts with access to a given folder – in case you want to permit different users to connect to that folder with their own personal log-in credentials. Even if you have never had a hosting account previously or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you will not have any problems setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on your Virtual Private Server, since everything’s done through an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and takes only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
