FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular way to upload and download web files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or whole folders 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 create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without being able to see any other directory in the web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create numerous Internet sites with web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be quite easy with any of our Linux hosting. This feature is not restricted, so using our intuitive Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you need to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks done. If you hire a developer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with only one click through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and the folders that they can connect to. Handy functions such as changing the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for commonly used FTP client apps are also only one mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve chosen upon registration, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to use. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your web content too. All the accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you don’t require a given account any longer, you can simply remove it and block persons who have used it before from connecting to it again. This option is particularly handy if you use the services of a designer or if an IT specialist departs your company and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. An extensive Help repository that comprises how-to video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have no previous experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

None of the Linux VPS web hosting services that we offer has a restriction on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can set up a separate account for any site hosted on your VPS, no matter if it is under a domain or sub-domain. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want different users to be able to establish an FTP connection to one and the same directory using their own set of log-in credentials, for example, it will take a few mouse clicks to create a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t have to deal with any difficulty, even if you lack previous experience in such matters.
