FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for exchanging files between a home PC and a web server. With an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All it takes to send files or entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their task without being able to see any other directory in the website hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous Internet sites using web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Each of the hosting plans offered by us will enable you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your Internet sites independently or to provide other persons with access to any website in your hosting account. If you have a web design software app installed on your PC, you will be able to administer numerous websites all at once and to keep them up to date without any efforts. If you provide the login details to another individual to do a certain task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to delete it altogether with only a couple of mouse clicks and prevent any chance of unauthorized access to your content in the future. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

With our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you would like, even different accounts with access to one and the same folder – if you want different people to be able to connect to the very same web content with entirely different login details. Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not include any limit on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can manage at a time, so you’ll be able to manage your web files and to update your sites without a hitch. If you want to limit the access to your content, you can alter the directory that an account can access or you can delete the account with no more than a couple of mouse clicks through the Control Panel. You will be able to see all the accounts and to edit any of them, if needed. For the sake of convenience, you can also download an auto-configuration file for several FTP software programs. Furthermore, we’ve prepared in-depth step-by-step articles and educational videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts seamlessly.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the Linux VPS servers offered by us includes a limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can set up a separate account for each Internet site hosted on your VPS server, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. In addition, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will select when you order – Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want several individuals to connect to the exact same folder using their own login details, for instance, it’ll take several clicks to create a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t experience any complication, even if you don’t have prior experience in such matters.
