FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most widely used means of uploading and downloading files between a PC and a web server. Using FTP client software such as FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will handle the rest. There are several benefits of employing FTP, including the ability to resume an upload/download in case there is some problem with the connection and the ability to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other info, which makes it the very best solution if you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without having to resort to 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
You can set up as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the shared hosting that we’re offering, since we have decided not to restrict this feature. In this way, you can manage numerous websites at once or provide other people with access to separate folders. As soon as a specific job has been accomplished and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your files anymore, you can modify the password for the FTP account in question or you can just delete the account with a couple of clicks and quit worrying about anybody using it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting plans, will permit you to see the complete list of the existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just one click to administer various options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you would like, even different accounts that can access the exact same folder – if you would like different persons to be able to connect to the same web content with totally different login details. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans don’t involve any restriction on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you will be able to administer your files and to update your websites without any effort. If you would like to stop the access to your content, you can alter the folder that an account can access or you can remove the account entirely with no more than a few mouse clicks through the Control Panel. You will be able to view 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 client programs. Furthermore, we’ve got in-depth step-by-step articles and tutorial video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts in a seamless way.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the Linux VPS servers offered by us includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up an account for each Internet site hosted on the VPS server, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or subdomain. Also, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick when you subscribe – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS during the configuration of any of them. If you want different persons to be able to connect to the exact same folder with their own set of log-in details, for instance, it will take a few clicks to set up an FTP account for each of them. Removing an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t come across any difficulty, even if you lack previous experience in such matters.
