FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular way to send website files between a home computer and a web server. With an FTP program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can carry out their job without being able to access any other content in your website hosting account. In addition, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple websites with web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be very easy with any of our cloud services. This feature is not restricted, so using our intuitive Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to manage your sites and to get your web-related tasks completed. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the website, for instance, you can update the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with just one click through the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and the directories that they can connect to. Handy functions such as editing the password or the path and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP client apps are also only a click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated services are quite powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting an immense number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to set a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to update it, if necessary. Furthermore, you can set up the account in an FTP client of your preference by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your computer, which will save you time. If you have never opened a web hosting account before, you can check our exhaustive educational video clips, which are available in the same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS
With a virtual private server from our company, you will get the option to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS server configurations, no matter which hosting Control Panel you have chosen on the order form – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Depending on your necessities, you can have a different FTP account for each site or several FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – if you want to allow several users to access that folder with their own set of sign-in details. Even if you’ve never had a hosting account previously or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, deleting or modifying any FTP account on the Virtual Private Server, since everything is done via an easy-to-use web-based interface and takes just a couple of mouse clicks.
