FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for uploading and downloading files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their job without accessing any other folder in your website hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with only a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can access. There’s no upper limit to the maximum number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you like at any given time. If you wouldn’t like to use a particular FTP account any longer or if a web designer has fulfilled their job and you don’t want them to connect to the web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently active accounts listed in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have elaborate help articles, which can help you administer your FTP accounts if you have any impediment.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated service are incredibly powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting a vast number of websites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different FTP 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 comes with each semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to edit it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your choosing by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your computer system, which will save you time. If you’ve never opened a hosting account previously, you can check out our detailed video tutorials, which are available in the same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS web hosting service that we’re offering has a cap on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can set up an FTP account for each site hosted on the machine, no matter if it’s under a domain or subdomain. Besides, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick when you subscribe – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine during the configuration of any of them. If you want different individuals to be able to make an FTP connection to one and the same folder using their very own set of login details, for instance, it’ll take several mouse clicks to set up a different FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the folder that it can access is just as simple and you will not have any difficulties, even if you don’t have previous experience in such matters.
