FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most widespread means for transferring files between a computer system and a web server. Using FTP software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will handle the rest. There’re several pluses of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to resume a download/upload in case there is a problem with the FTP connection or the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the ideal option particularly when you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to use 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the Linux hosting that we offer, as we have chosen not to restrict this service. Thus, you can manage multiple Internet sites simultaneously or provide other individuals with access to multiple directories. Once a given task has been accomplished and you don’t want that person to be able to access your website files any longer, you can update the password for the given FTP account or you can simply delete the account with a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying about anyone using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting plans, will allow you to see the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes just a click to administer various options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting services are truly powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting many sites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each Internet site that you host on our cloud platform. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to change it, if needed. Furthermore, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your choosing by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never had a web hosting account previously, you can check out our exhaustive video tutorials, which are available in the same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
The virtual private server plans that we offer will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS package you buy and which Control Panel you pick during the registration procedure – cPanel or Hepsia. In any case, you will gain FTP access to the virtual machine without the need to install any software, as an FTP server is part of the basic software suite that is included in the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you own or even several accounts for a single directory – in case you want different users to be able to access the web content inside it using their very own set of log-in details. With each of the Control Panels, setting up, removing or modifying an FTP account takes no more than a few mouse clicks through an easy-to-navigate web-based interface.
