FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for uploading and downloading files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you will need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without being able to view any other content in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous websites with web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting plans will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what web files and folders each one can access. There’s no upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you need at any particular time. If you would not like to use a given FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has done their job and you do not want them to connect to the web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to view all currently existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have a detailed Help database, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated package that you’ve chosen during the order process, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to make use of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you wish through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you do not need a specific account anymore, you can simply delete it and block people who have used it previously from connecting to it again. The latter functionality is especially handy in case you use the services of a designer or in case an IT specialist retires from your firm and you don’t want them to access the web files anymore. A comprehensive Help section that comprises tutorial video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you do not have any previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS
The virtual private server packages that we’re offering will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which VPS plan you buy and which Control Panel you pick on the order form – Hepsia and cPanel. In any case, you’ll be granted FTP access to the VPS server without installing any software, since an FTP server is part of the basic software bundle that comes with the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have or even several FTP accounts for a single directory – in case you want several individuals to access the website content in it using their own set of login details. With each of the Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account will take no more than several mouse clicks via an easy-to-use GUI.
