FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular way to upload and download files between a computer and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their job without accessing any other content in your web hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create numerous websites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Setting up and managing numerous FTP accounts will be amazingly easy with each of our cloud website hosting plans. This functionality is not limited, so using our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need to, in order to administer your websites and to get your web-related tasks completed. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with only one single click of the mouse through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have created and what directories they can connect to. Useful options such as updating the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP client programs are also only a click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each of them, as we haven’t put a restriction on this functionality with any of our plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you will be able to modify the password for a certain FTP account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly in case you do not need it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a designer who is done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have made a number of how-to videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort if you’ve never used a hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers that we are offering has a limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create an FTP account for any Internet site hosted on the VPS, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Besides, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you’ll choose when you sign up – cPanel or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different people to be able to connect to the same directory using their own log-in credentials, for example, it’ll take a few clicks to set up an FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the directory that it can connect to is just as simple and you will not need to deal with any difficulties, even if you don’t have past experience in such matters.
