FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most famous methods for exchanging files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will do the rest. There are several pros of using FTP, including the option to resume an upload/download in case there is some problem with the FTP connection and the option to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the perfect option in case you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to use third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with only a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what files and folders each one can access. There’s no upper limit to the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any given time. If you do not want to use a given FTP account anymore or if a designer has accomplished their task and you do not want them to connect to the web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with one click. You will be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have a comprehensive Help library, which can help you manage your FTP accounts if you come across any problem.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t put a limit on this service with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to change the password for a given FTP account or to modify its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also delete an account with no effort in case you don’t need it anymore – for example, if you have hired a web designer who is done with the website and you don’t want them to be able to access your web files anymore. For your convenience, we’ve shot a number of educational video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without efforts in case you’ve never used a hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server plans that we are offering will enable you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to manage the content of your Internet sites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server package you get and which Control Panel you pick during the registration procedure – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. In any case, you will have FTP access to the VPS server without the need to install any kind of software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software stack which is included in the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you have or even separate FTP accounts for one single folder – if you want several people to connect to the website content in it using their very own personal sign-in credentials. With each of the Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account will take no more than several mouse clicks via an easy-to-work-with web-based interface.
