FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous way to send website files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP client that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can make a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with several clicks of the mouse. This is done using a user-friendly GUI and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you will be able to create separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you wish to provide a 3rd party with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a specific folder and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. Three things are obligatory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP address, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the shared website hosting plans offered by us, because we’ve chosen not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can have numerous sites simultaneously or grant other people access to different folders. Once a given job has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to connect to your files any longer, you can edit the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can simply delete the account with several clicks and stop worrying about someone connecting to it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting packages, will allow you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one mouse click to administer various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans are stunningly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting many websites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to limit the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to check the access path and to edit it, if necessary. In addition, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your preference by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your computer system, which will save you time. In case you’ve never used a hosting account before, you can watch our comprehensive tutorial video clips, which are available in the same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS hosting plans that we are offering includes any limitation on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create an FTP account for any site hosted on your VPS, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, since an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine during the installation of any of them. If you want a number of individuals to be able to access one and the same directory with their own login credentials, for example, it will take several clicks of the mouse to set up a different FTP account for each of them. Deleting an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as easy and you will not come across any difficulty, even if you do not have previous experience in such matters.
