FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most famous means for transmitting files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will do the rest. There’re several pros of using FTP, among them the option to resume a download/upload when there is a problem with the 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 web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other info, which makes it the perfect option if you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you have created straight from them, without the need to use any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with only several clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia Control Panel and to choose what web files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you can have as many as you want at any given time. If you would not like to use a given FTP account any longer or if a designer has completed their task and you do not want them to access your web content any longer, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently active accounts listed in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with one mouse click. You’ll be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have detailed help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts if you have any complication.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a different FTP account for each one of them, as we have not limited this feature with any of our plans. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to change the password for a specific account or to modify its access path with several clicks. You can also delete an account with ease if you no longer need it – for example, if you’ve hired a designer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to connect to your website files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we’ve made a number of instructional videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts if you have never used a hosting plan previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS

None of the Linux VPS that we offer includes a limitation on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create a separate account for each site hosted on the machine, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. It also doesn’t matter which Control Panel you’ll pick when you register – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want different individuals to establish a connection to one and the same directory using their very own set of sign-in credentials, for example, it’ll take a couple of clicks of the mouse to create a different FTP account for each of them. Deleting an active account or changing the folder that it can access is just as simple and you won’t have to deal with any predicaments, even if you lack previous experience in such matters.
