FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of sending files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their job without being able to see any other content in your web hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous sites with web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the shared services offered by our company, as we have decided not to limit this feature. Thus, you can have numerous websites all at once or provide other people with access to separate directories. Once a certain job has been completed and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to connect to your web files any longer, you can change the password associated with the given FTP account or you can just delete the account with a couple of clicks and quit worrying about someone connecting to it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting plans, will permit you to see the complete list of the existing FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes just a click to manage different options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t put a limit on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our intuitive Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to update the password for a certain FTP account or to modify its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also remove an account with no effort in case you do not require it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a web designer who is finished with the website and you do not want them to be able to connect to your website files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we’ve compiled a number of video tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a web hosting plan before.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server plans that we are offering will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which Virtual Private Server plan you order and which Control Panel you choose during the order process – Hepsia and cPanel. In all cases, you will obtain FTP access to the VPS without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software suite which comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you’ve got or even multiple accounts for one single folder – in case you want a number of individuals to be able to access the content in it using their own personal sign-in details. With each of the offered Control Panels, setting up, deleting or editing an FTP account requires no more than a few mouse clicks via a simple-to-navigate web-based interface.
