FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular method of uploading files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP program that’s installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with a few clicks of the mouse. This is done using a simple-to-navigate GUI and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’ll be able to set up separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you need to provide a third party with access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a particular folder and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are obligatory to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP address, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting packages will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with just several clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to select what website files and folders each one can connect to. There’s no upper limit to the total number of accounts that you can create, so you will be able to have as many as you need at any given moment. If you don’t want to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a web designer has fulfilled their task and you do not want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to view all currently active FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one single click of the mouse. You will be able to modify the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have an elaborate Help section, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have any difficulties.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated package that you have selected during the order process, since the FTP access is one of the default features that you will be able to take advantage of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content too. All the accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a certain account any longer, you can simply delete it and stop persons who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter option is especially useful in case you use the services of a web designer or if an IT professional departs your firm and you don’t want them to connect to the web files any longer. A detailed Help library that comprises instructional video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have no previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
The virtual private server plans that we offer will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the server order process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. In any case, you’ll obtain FTP access to the virtual machine without installing any kind of software, since an FTP server is part of the standard software suite which is included in the VPS packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you’ve registered or even several accounts for one single folder – if you want a number of persons to access the website content in it with their very own sign-in details. With any of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account will take no more than several mouse clicks via an easy-to-navigate GUI.
