File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most popular means of transferring content to a hosting account. With an FTP software application that’s pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with a couple of clicks. You can do this via a simple-to-navigate GUI and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’re able to create separate accounts, each with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you’d like to grant somebody access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only a specific directory and will not be able to see the remaining content or any other information, such as personal details. Three things are needed in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux cloud web hosting that we offer, since we’ve decided not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can run numerous sites simultaneously or give other people access to different directories. Once a particular job has been completed and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password associated with the given FTP account or you can simply remove that account with several clicks and stop worrying about anyone connecting to it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all hosting packages, will permit you to check the complete list of the existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only a click to administer different options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers are incredibly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting multiple websites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to set a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to change it, if necessary. Also, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your computer system, which will save you time. In case you have never used a hosting account previously, you can watch our exhaustive educational videos, which are available in the exact same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers that we are offering includes a cap on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can create an account for each Internet site hosted on your virtual server, no matter if it is under a domain or sub-domain. What’s more, it does not matter which Control Panel you’ll pick when you register – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS during the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of users to establish a connection to the very same directory with their own sign-in details, for instance, it will take a few clicks of the mouse to create a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an active account or changing the folder that it can access is just as easy and you won’t encounter any difficulty, even if you don’t have any past experience in such matters.
