FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means of transferring files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP software program that is pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can connect to your website hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this via an easy-to-use GUI and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you will be able to set up separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you need to provide somebody with access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a particular folder and will not be able to access the rest of your content or any other info, such as private details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

You can create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux web hosting offered by us, since we’ve chosen not to limit this service. In this way, you can maintain numerous websites all at once or provide other persons with access to different folders. As soon as a particular task has been carried out and you do not want that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can modify the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a few mouse clicks and stop worrying about anyone connecting to it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting plans, will allow you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one single click to administer various options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve picked during the signup process, since the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll be able to take advantage of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you don’t require a particular account anymore, you can simply remove it and block persons who have used it previously from accessing it again. This functionality is particularly useful if you use the services of a designer or in case an IT expert quits the firm and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. An exhaustive Help section that includes instructional videos will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not have previous experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

The virtual private server plans offered by us will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server package you order and which hosting Control Panel you pick during the order procedure – Hepsia or cPanel. In all cases, you’ll have FTP access to the VPS server without installing any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the standard software bundle that comes with the VPS packages by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have registered or even several FTP accounts for one single directory – in case you want several individuals to be able to connect to the website content in it with their own personal sign-in credentials. With each of the offered Control Panels, setting up, removing or modifying an FTP account takes no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse via a user-friendly interface.
