FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), represents the most famous means for transmitting website content to a hosting account. With an FTP software program that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can set up a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with a few mouse clicks. This is done via an intuitive graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’ll be able to create several FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to provide a third party with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only one particular directory and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, such as private details. Three prerequisites are compulsory to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux web hosting packages that we offer, as we have chosen not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can manage numerous websites simultaneously or give other persons access to separate directories. As soon as a certain task has been completed and you do not want that individual to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the given FTP account or you can just remove that account with a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about anyone accessing it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one single click of the mouse to manage various options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages are truly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting an immense number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to limit the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to check the access path and to modify it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your desire by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your home PC, which will save you time. If you’ve never had a web hosting account previously, you can check out our comprehensive educational video clips, which are available in the exact same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS
The virtual private server plans offered by our company will enable you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you choose on the order page – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In any case, you’ll gain FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without having to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the standard software bundle that comes with the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you have registered or even multiple FTP accounts for a single folder – in case you want different people to connect to the website content in it using their own log-in details. With each of the offered Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account takes no more than several clicks through a simple-to-navigate web interface.
