FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most popular methods of sending website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software itself will do all the rest. There’re several advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the option to resume a download/upload if there is some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the perfect option in case you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to make use of any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel and to select what web files and folders each one can connect to. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any particular time. If you would not like to use a specific FTP account any longer or if a designer has accomplished their job and you don’t want them to connect to the web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have in-depth help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any predicaments.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like, even different accounts with access to the same directory – if you would like different persons to be able to access the exact same content with entirely different login credentials. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service do not have any restriction on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you will be able to manage your web files and to update your sites without a hitch. In case you want to stop the access to your web content, you can change the folder that an account can connect to or you can delete the account altogether with no more than a couple of clicks through the Control Panel. You will be able to see all the accounts and to edit any of them, if necessary. For convenience’s sake, you can also download an auto-config file for various FTP client apps. Furthermore, we have elaborate step-by-step articles and how-to video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without any hassles.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS web hosting service that we offer has a limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up a separate FTP account for any site hosted on the machine, regardless of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. It also does not matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll select when you join – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine during the configuration of any of them. In case you want different individuals to be able to make an FTP connection to one and the same folder with their own set of log-in details, for example, it will take a few clicks of the mouse to create a different FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the folder that it can connect to is just as simple and you won’t have any impediment, even if you do not have past experience in such matters.
