FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular way to transfer files between a PC and a server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to see any other content in your website hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build multiple sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the shared web hosting service that we’re offering, because we’ve chosen not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can run multiple Internet sites all at once or provide other people with access to multiple folders. Once a given job has been fulfilled and you do not want that person to be able to access your web files any longer, you can update the password associated with the FTP account or you can just remove that account with several mouse clicks and stop worrying about anybody using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts, will allow you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one single click of the mouse to manage various options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service are quite powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting many sites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to limit the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different FTP account for each site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with each semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to check the access path and to edit it, if needed. Furthermore, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your PC, which will save you time. In case you have never used a web hosting account before, you can check out our elaborate tutorial video clips, which are available in the same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you will be given the ability to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS server configurations, regardless of which Control Panel you have chosen at signup – Hepsia or cPanel. Based on your necessities, you can create a separate FTP account for each website or several accounts with access to a certain folder – if you want to permit a number of persons to access that folder using their very own login credentials. Even if you have never opened a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you will not have any problems setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on the VPS server, since everything is done via a simple-to-navigate web-based interface and takes only a couple of clicks.
