FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for sending files between a home computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to see any other folder in your web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Each of the shared hosting packages offered by our company will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your websites independently or to grant other people access to any Internet site in your hosting account. If you’ve got a web design program pre-installed on your personal computer, you will be able to run numerous sites at once and to keep them updated effortlessly. In case you give the login credentials to another individual to perform a given task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with just a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any chance of unauthorized access to your website content from then on. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be listed in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With our custom-built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you want, even multiple accounts with access to the exact same folder – in case you would like several persons to be able to access the very same web content with totally different login credentials. Our semi-dedicated packages do not have any limitation on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you’ll be able to manage your web files and to update your sites without a hitch. If you would like to stop the access to your content, you can change the directory that an account can access or you can remove the account with no more than a few mouse clicks through the Control Panel. You’ll be able to check all the FTP accounts and to modify any of them, if necessary. For the sake of convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for different FTP client apps. Also, we have compiled in-depth help articles and instructional videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without any hassles.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
None of the VPS hosting offered by us includes a restriction on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can create an FTP account for any site hosted on the VPS server, no matter if it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Besides, it does not matter which Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the installation of any of them. In case you want different users to be able to establish an FTP connection to the same folder with their own set of sign-in credentials, for example, it will take a couple of mouse clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each of them. Deleting an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as easy and you will not need to deal with any problems, even if you do not have any previous experience in such matters.
