FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular means of transmitting content to a web hosting account. With an FTP client app that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this using a simple-to-work-with GUI and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’re able to set up different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you want to provide a third party with access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only a particular folder and will not be able to see the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be pretty easy with each of our Linux shared hosting packages. This functionality isn’t limited, so using our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the website, for example, you can modify the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with just a click from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and the directories that they can access. Handy options such as editing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP software applications are also just a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t set a restriction on this service with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you will be able to change the password for a particular account or to modify its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account without efforts in case you don’t need it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a web developer who’s finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we have selected a number of video tutorials, that will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you have never used a hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS

None of the Linux VPS packages offered by our company has any limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create an FTP account for any Internet site hosted on your machine, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick when you join – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of persons to be able to make an FTP connection to one and the same folder using their own sign-in credentials, for instance, it will take a couple of clicks of the mouse to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or changing the folder that it can access is just as simple and you won’t come across any complication, even if you lack prior experience in such matters.
