FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous method of sending website content to a web hosting account. Using an FTP client application that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can make a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with a few mouse clicks. You can do this using a simple-to-navigate GUI and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is that you will be able to create several FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you have to provide a third party with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only a particular directory and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are mandatory in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP address, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be rather easy with each of our web hosting. This feature is not limited, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-connected tasks completed. If you hire a web designer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just one single click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have set up and what directories they can connect to. Useful options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP clients are also only a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for any of them, as we haven’t restricted this feature with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to change the password for a certain account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not require it any longer – for example, if you have hired a developer who is done with the website and you don’t want them to connect to your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have made a number of tutorial video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort in case you have never used a web hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server plans offered by us will permit you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which VPS package you get and which hosting Control Panel you select on the order form – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will gain FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software stack that comes with the VPS plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have or even multiple FTP accounts for one single directory – if you want different persons to connect to the website content in it using their very own set of log-in credentials. With each of the Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account takes no more than several mouse clicks via an easy-to-work-with GUI.
