FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular way to exchange website files between a home PC and a server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All it takes to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their job without being able to see any other directory in the hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple websites using web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be incredibly easy with each of our Linux website hosting. This functionality isn’t limited, so using our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your websites and to get your website-related tasks completed. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just one single click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can access. Useful functions such as modifying the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP clients are also only a mouse click away.

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 each of them, since we haven’t put a limit on this functionality with any of our packages. You can do this via the FTP section of our intuitive Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to update the password for a certain FTP account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account with ease in case you don’t require it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a web designer who’s done with the site and you do not want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we’ve created a number of how-to videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts with ease in case you have never used a hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you will have the ability to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server packages, no matter which hosting Control Panel you have picked upon signup – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Based on your necessities, you can have a separate FTP account for every website or a number of accounts with access to a certain folder – if you wish to permit several users to access that folder using their own personal log-in credentials. Even if you have never opened a web hosting account previously or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties creating, deleting or modifying any FTP account on the Virtual Private Server, as everything’s done via a simple-to-navigate GUI and takes only a few clicks of the mouse.
