FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is among the most popular means for transmitting web files between a PC and a server. With an FTP client like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will take care of the rest. There are several benefits of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to restart an upload/download in case there is some problem with the FTP connection and the option to set up 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 other info, which makes it the best solution especially when you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to use third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be unbelievably easy with any of our Linux cloud web hosting service. This functionality isn’t restricted, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to create as many accounts as you need to, in order to administer your sites and to get your web-connected tasks accomplished. If you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can change the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with just one click from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and what folders they can connect to. Handy options such as editing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP client programs are also only one click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a different FTP account for each of them, as we haven’t limited this feature with any of our plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, along with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you will be able to modify the password for a certain FTP account or to edit its access path with several clicks. You can also remove an account without effort in case you no longer need it – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who is finished with the site and you don’t want them to access your files any longer. For your convenience, we have shot a number of how-to video clips, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort if you’ve never used a web hosting package before.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the option to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS server packages, regardless of the Control Panel that you have selected during the signup procedure – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your demands, you can create a separate FTP account for each Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a given folder – in case you would like to permit a number of persons to be able to access that folder with their very own set of sign-in details. Even if you’ve never used a hosting account previously or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the virtual server, as everything’s done through an easy-to-navigate web interface and takes just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
