File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is among the most widespread means of sending website files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla, you can connect to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software will do the rest. There are several advantages of employing FTP, among them the ability to resume an upload/download when there’s some problem with the connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the best solution particularly if you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to use any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
Each of the web hosting plans that we offer will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to manage the content of your sites independently or to grant other persons access to any Internet site in your website hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design app pre-installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to maintain numerous Internet sites at the same time and to keep them up to date without effort. In case you give the login credentials to some other person for a particular task, you will be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with just a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any chance of unauthorized access to your content from then on. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated plan that you have opted for during the subscription process, as the FTP access is one of the default features that you will be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content as well. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a given account any longer, you can just remove it and stop individuals who have used it before from connecting to it again. The latter option is particularly useful in case you use the services of a web designer or if an IT person exits the firm and you do not want them to connect to the website files anymore. An exhaustive Help database that contains tutorial video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not possess previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from us, you will have the opportunity to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS setups, no matter the hosting Control Panel that you’ve selected during the server order procedure – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Based on your demands, you can have a different FTP account for every Internet site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – if you’d like to permit several people to access that folder with their own personal sign-in details. Even if you’ve never had a website hosting account before or if you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problem setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on your Virtual Private Server, since everything is done via an easy-to-work-with web-based interface and takes only a couple of clicks.
