File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is among the most commonly used ways to upload and download files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software will take care of the rest. There are a number of advantages of using FTP, including the option to resume a download/upload when there’s some problem with the connection and the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the very best solution when you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you have created directly from them, without having to make use of 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux website hosting packages that we offer, because we’ve chosen not to limit this service. In this way, you can maintain multiple sites simultaneously or give other people access to multiple directories. Once a particular job has been completed and you do not want that individual to be able to access your files any longer, you can update the password for the given FTP account or you can simply delete the account with several mouse clicks and quit worrying about somebody connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all hosting packages, will permit you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes only one click to manage various options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for any of them, since we have not set a limit on this feature with any of our packages. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you will be able to modify the password for a specific FTP account or to edit its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts if you no longer require it – for instance, if you’ve hired a designer who’s finished with the website and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your website files any longer. For your convenience, we have created different instructional videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you’ve never used a hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

With a virtual private server from us, you’ll be provided with the ability to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server configurations, regardless of the hosting Control Panel that you’ve picked during the VPS order process – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Depending on your needs, you can create a separate FTP account for each Internet site or several accounts with access to a given folder – if you would like to allow several individuals to access that folder with their very own login credentials. Even if you have never had a web hosting account previously or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties setting up, deleting or modifying any FTP account on your machine, as everything’s done via a user-friendly interface and takes just a couple of mouse clicks.
