FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widespread ways to upload and download website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will handle all the rest. There’re several benefits of employing FTP, including the option to resume an upload/download in case there is some problem with the FTP connection or the option to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other information, which makes it the best option in case you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting packages will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what files and folders each account can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you like at any particular moment. If you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account any longer or in case a designer has completed their task and you do not 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 displayed alphabetically, along with various options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have an in-depth Help database, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you need to deal with any predicament.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for any of them, since we haven’t set a restriction on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our intuitive Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you will be able to update the password for a certain FTP account or to edit its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly in case you don’t need it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a designer who is finished with the site and you don’t want them to be able to access your web files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we’ve selected different educational video clips, that will help you administer your FTP accounts with no effort in case you’ve never used a website hosting service previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the Linux VPS web hosting that we offer has a limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create an account for each Internet site hosted on your virtual machine, no matter if it is under a domain or sub-domain. Furthermore, it does not matter which Control Panel you’ll pick when you sign up – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of individuals to be able to establish an FTP connection to one and the same directory using their very own sign-in credentials, for example, it’ll take several mouse clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the folder that it can access is just as easy and you won’t have to deal with any difficulty, even if you don’t have prior experience in such matters.
