FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for exchanging website files between a home computer and a web server. With an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish 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 need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to view any other directory in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create numerous Internet sites with web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what website files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of accounts that you can set up, so you can have as many as you need at any particular moment. If you do not want to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a web designer has completed their task and you do not want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to modify the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have detailed help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you have any difficulty.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like, even separate accounts with access to the same directory – if you would like several persons to be able to connect to the exact same content with different login details. Our semi-dedicated hosting plans don’t include any limit on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can manage at the same time, so you’ll be able to administer your web files and to update your websites effortlessly. If you would like to restrict the access to your web content, you can change the directory that an account can access or you can delete the account completely with no more than a few clicks of the mouse through the Control Panel. You will be able to view all the FTP accounts and to edit any of them, if necessary. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for a number of FTP client apps. What’s more, we’ve prepared exhaustive help articles and video tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without hassles.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages that we’re offering will permit you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which plan you get and which Control Panel you choose during the server order process – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. In all cases, you’ll have FTP access to the machine without having to install any software, as an FTP server is part of the basic software bundle which comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you’ve registered or even different accounts for a single folder – in case you want different individuals to access the website content in it using their very own sign-in details. With any of the offered Control Panels, setting up, deleting or modifying an FTP account requires no more than a few clicks of the mouse via an easy-to-navigate web-based interface.
