FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to transfer files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the 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. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to view any other content in the website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous Internet sites using web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Each of the cloud web hosting plans that we are offering will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your sites independently or to provide other persons with access to any website in your hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design app installed on your PC, you will be able to maintain multiple websites all at once and to update them with ease. If you provide the login info to some other person for a certain task, you’ll be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and prevent any possibility of unsolicited access to your content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t set a restriction on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to update the password for a certain FTP account or to change its access path with a few clicks. You can also delete an account with ease if you no longer need it – for instance, if you have hired a designer who’s finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For your convenience, we’ve selected different video tutorials, that will help you manage your FTP accounts with ease if you have never used a web hosting plan before.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from us, you’ll get the ability to create unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS server setups, regardless of which hosting Control Panel you’ve chosen on the order form – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Based on your needs, you can create a separate FTP account for each Internet site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a particular folder – if you want to allow a number of individuals to be able to connect to that folder using their own sign-in credentials. Even if you have never had a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you won’t have any problem setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on the virtual machine, as everything is done through an easy-to-use web interface and takes just a few clicks.
