FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular way to transfer content to a web hosting account. With an FTP program that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can make a connection to your website hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with a few mouse clicks. This is done via a simple-to-navigate interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to create different accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must grant somebody access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a specific folder and will not be able to see the rest of your content or any other information, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are needed in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. In case you don’t want to use a particular FTP account any longer or if a web designer has completed their job and you do not want them to connect to your website content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to check all currently existing accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with one single mouse click. You’ll be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have an elaborate Help library, which will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you encounter any difficulties.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers are exceptionally powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting lots of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to limit the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate FTP account for each site that you host on our cloud platform. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to check the access path and to update it, if necessary. Furthermore, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your preference by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your personal computer, which will save you time. In case you have never had a web hosting account previously, you can check our detailed instructional videos, which are available in the very same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server packages offered by us will allow you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which package you order and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the signup procedure – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In all cases, you will be granted FTP access to the virtual machine without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software stack which is included in the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you’ve got or even different accounts for one single folder – if you want a number of persons to be able to access the web content inside it using their very own sign-in credentials. With any of the offered Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account will require no more than several clicks of the mouse via an easy-to-work-with web-based interface.
