FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is among the most famous means for uploading and downloading files between a computer and a server. With FTP software such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will take care of all the rest. There’re several advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to restart an upload/download in case there is a problem with the FTP connection and the possibility to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other info, which makes it the ideal option especially when you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to resort to any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a few mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what web files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the total number of accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you like at any given moment. In case you would not like to use a specific FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has done their job and you do not want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one single click. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have a comprehensive Help library, which will help you manage your FTP accounts if you encounter any impediments.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans are very powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting an immense number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to edit it, if needed. Also, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your home computer, which will save you time. In case you’ve never used a hosting account before, you can watch our exhaustive tutorial video clips, which are available in the same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS plans that we offer has a cap on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up a separate account for each website hosted on the server, no matter if it is under a domain or sub-domain. Also, it does not matter which Control Panel you’ll choose when you subscribe – Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want different users to be able to set up a connection to the very same folder using their very own log-in credentials, for instance, it will take a couple of mouse clicks to set up a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t encounter any problem, even if you lack prior experience in such matters.
