FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for uploading and downloading web files between a home computer and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can do their job without being able to see any other content in the hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous websites using web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

Any of the website hosting plans offered by us will permit you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your websites separately or to grant other people access to any site in your website hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design program pre-installed on your PC, you will be able to administer numerous sites at the same time and to keep them updated without a hitch. If you give the login information to another individual to perform a given task, you’ll be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to remove it entirely with just a few clicks of the mouse and prevent any chance of unauthorized access to your content in the future. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a separate FTP account for any of them, as we have not set a restriction on this feature with any of our packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to modify the password for a given FTP account or to modify its access path with several clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts if you don’t need it anymore – for instance, if you have hired a designer who is finished with the site and you don’t want them to be able to access your files any longer. For your convenience, we have prepared a number of educational videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort if you’ve never used a hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS

The virtual private server plans offered by us will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which Virtual Private Server package you order and which hosting Control Panel you pick during the subscription process – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will be given FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without the need to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the standard software stack which is included in the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you own or even multiple FTP accounts for a single folder – if you want several people to access the content in it using their own personal login details. With any of the Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account will take no more than several clicks of the mouse through an easy-to-work-with web interface.
