FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means for transmitting content to a web hosting account. With FTP software that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with several mouse clicks. You can do this via an easy-to-use GUI and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up several FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you’d like to grant someone access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only a particular folder and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other information, such as private details. Three prerequisites are needed in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with just a few mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each account can connect to. There’s no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any given moment. In case you would not like to use a given FTP account anymore or if a web designer has fulfilled their job and you do not want them to access the website content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have in-depth help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have any impediment.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve opted for during the registration process, since the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll be able to use. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you don’t need a certain account any longer, you can simply delete it and block people who have used it previously from accessing it again. This option is particularly handy in case you use the services of a developer or in case an IT professional departs the company and you do not want them to connect to the web files anymore. An elaborate Help database that contains how-to videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any past experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from us, you’ll be given the opportunity to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS setups, irrespective of the Control Panel that you’ve chosen upon registration – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Depending on your necessities, you can create a separate FTP account for each Internet site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you’d like to allow a number of people to be able to connect to that folder using their own login details. Even if you have never opened a website hosting account before or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you will not have any problems setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on your server, as everything is done via a simple-to-use web-based interface and takes just a few clicks.
