FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widespread means of transmitting web files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will handle the rest. There’re several advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the option to resume a download/upload in case there is a problem with the connection or the possibility to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other information, which makes it the very best option especially if you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you’ve created directly from them, without having to resort to any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be incredibly easy with any of our cloud hosting plans. This feature is not limited, so with our simple-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need to manage your sites and to get your website-related tasks done. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one single click of the mouse from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and what folders they can connect to. Useful options such as updating the password or the access path and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP apps are also just a click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans are extremely powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a large number of sites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to restrict the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different account for each Internet site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to see the access path and to change it, if needed. Also, you can set up the account in your favorite FTP client by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your personal computer, which will save you time. If you have never used a hosting account before, you can check our comprehensive instructional video clips, which can be accessed through the same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS plans offered by our company has any limitation on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can set up a separate account for each website hosted on your VPS, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or subdomain. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS during the installation of any of them. If you want different users to be able to access the same directory using their very own login details, for instance, it will take a few clicks of the mouse to create a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or changing the folder that it can access is just as easy and you will not experience any difficulty, even if you lack prior experience in such matters.
