FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transmitting website files between a home computer and a web server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to view any other content in the website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple sites with web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

Each of the cloud web hosting plans that we are offering will allow you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to give other people access to any site in your website hosting account. In case you have a web design application pre-installed on your home computer, you will be able to maintain numerous sites at the same time and to keep them updated without any effort. In case you provide the login details to another person to do a specific task, you will be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with only a couple of clicks and prevent any possibility of unsolicited access to your content from then on. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t set a limit on this feature with any of our plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our intuitive Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you will be able to change the password for a given account or to edit its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts in case you don’t need it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a web developer who’s done with the website and you do not want them to be able to connect to your files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we have shot different how-to videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without any effort if you’ve never used a web hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS servers that we are offering includes any limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can create an account for any site hosted on the server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Furthermore, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will select when you sign up – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want a number of persons to be able to set up a connection to the very same folder with their very own set of sign-in details, for instance, it will take a couple of mouse clicks to create an FTP account for each of them. Deleting an active account or modifying the folder that it can access is just as simple and you won’t experience any problem, even if you have no past experience in such matters.
