FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method of sending website files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their job without accessing any other folder in your hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites with web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will permit you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel and to choose what files and folders each account can connect to. There is no upper limit to the total number of accounts that you can set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you need at any given moment. If you would not like to use a certain FTP account any longer or in case a designer has fulfilled their task and you don’t want them to access your website content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to check all currently existing accounts displayed alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have in-depth help articles, which can help you administer your FTP accounts in case you come across any complication.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

With our custom-built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want, even separate accounts that can access the very same folder – in case you would like different persons to be able to access the exact same website content with entirely different login credentials. Our semi-dedicated plans don’t include a restriction on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you’ll be able to administer your web files and to update your sites without any effort. In case you want to block the access to your web content, you can change the folder that an account can access or you can remove the account altogether with no more than a couple of clicks from the Control Panel. You will be able to see all the FTP accounts and to edit any of them, if necessary. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-configuration file for various FTP programs. Also, we have compiled in-depth step-by-step articles and how-to video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without hassle.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS servers that we’re offering includes any limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can set up an account for each website hosted on your server, no matter if it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Besides, it does not matter which Control Panel you will pick when you subscribe – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine during the installation of any of them. In case you want a number of persons to be able to set up an FTP connection to one and the same directory using their very own set of log-in details, for instance, it will take several clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t run into any problem, even if you do not have any prior experience in such matters.
