FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to send files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select 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 create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their task without being able to access any other directory in your website hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous Internet sites with web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the Linux web hosting that we’re offering, because we have decided not to limit this service. In this way, you can have multiple sites at the same time or give other persons access to separate directories. As soon as a specific task has been accomplished and you don’t want that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can update the password for the given FTP account or you can just remove that account with a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying about somebody accessing it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting packages, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single 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 Hosting
When you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them, as we have not set a limit on this functionality with any of our packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you will be able to modify the password for a particular FTP account or to change its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also delete an account with ease if you do not need it anymore – for example, if you have hired a developer who is done with the Internet site and you do not want them to be able to access your web files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we have compiled different educational videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without efforts if you have never used a website hosting plan previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server plans offered by our company will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your Internet sites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you pick on the order page – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. In any case, you will gain FTP access to the machine without having to install any software, as an FTP server is part of the software stack which comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you host or even different FTP accounts for a single folder – if you want different people to connect to the web content in it using their own set of log-in details. With any of the Control Panels, setting up, deleting or editing an FTP account will take no more than several mouse clicks through an easy-to-navigate web-based interface.
