FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is among the most commonly used ways to send files between a PC and a server. With FTP software like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will do the rest. There are several advantages of using File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to restart a download/upload when there is a problem with the FTP connection and the possibility to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect solution particularly when you need to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the Linux shared website hosting packages that we offer, because we have decided not to restrict this service. Thus, you can run numerous websites simultaneously or give other people access to different folders. As soon as a specific job has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to access your web files any longer, you can change the password for the FTP account or you can simply remove the account with several clicks and quit worrying about someone using it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts, will allow you to view the full list of the existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes only one single click of the mouse to administer different options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Using our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish, even separate accounts that can access one and the same directory – if you wish different persons to be able to access the same content with different login credentials. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages don’t include a restriction 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 modify your sites with ease. In case you would like to restrict the access to your website content, you can alter the folder that an account can access or you can delete the account with no more than a few clicks of the mouse through the Control Panel. You will be able to view all the FTP accounts and to edit any of them, if needed. For convenience’s sake, you can also download an auto-configuration file for a number of FTP software apps. What’s more, we’ve prepared comprehensive help articles and instructional videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts seamlessly.

FTP Accounts in VPS

With a virtual private server from us, you’ll be given the possibility to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server plans, no matter the hosting Control Panel that you have picked during the signup process – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Depending on your requirements, you can set up a different FTP account for each site or several accounts with access to a certain folder – if you want to permit several individuals to be able to connect to that folder with their own personal login details. Even if you have never opened a hosting account previously or if you’ve only used a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties setting up, removing or editing any FTP account on your Virtual Private Server, as everything is done through a simple-to-navigate web-based interface and takes just a few mouse clicks.
