FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular way to upload website files to a hosting account. With FTP client software that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all of the files that you need with several mouse clicks. You can do this using an intuitive graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to create several FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you’d like to provide a 3rd party with access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only one specific folder and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other information, such as private details. Three things are necessary to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP address, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Setting up and managing numerous FTP accounts will be really easy with any of our Linux web hosting service. This service is not limited, so with our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you need to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks done. In case you hire a developer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with only a click via the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up and the folders that they can access. Handy functions such as changing the path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widespread FTP client applications are also only a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t put a restriction on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If needed, you will be able to modify the password for a particular account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not need it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a web developer who is finished with the Internet site and you do not want them to access your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we’ve created different tutorial video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a hosting plan before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server packages that we offer will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which plan you purchase and which hosting Control Panel you select during the order procedure – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. In any case, you’ll be given FTP access to the VPS server without the need to install any kind of software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software stack that is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you’ve registered or even different accounts for a single directory – in case you want several individuals to be able to connect to the web content in it using their very own personal sign-in credentials. With each of the Control Panels, setting up, removing or modifying an FTP account requires no more than several mouse clicks through a user-friendly GUI.
