FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular way to transmit web content to a web hosting account. With an FTP client that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can connect to your website hosting server and copy all of the files that you need with a few clicks. This is done using an easy-to-work-with graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you are able to create separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you would like to provide somebody with access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to access only a specific directory and will not be able to see the rest of your content or any other information, such as private details. Three prerequisites are obligatory in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

You can create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux shared web hosting offered by us, because we have chosen not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can maintain numerous sites at once or give other people access to multiple directories. Once a certain task has been fulfilled and you would not like that individual to be able to access your website files anymore, you can modify the password for the particular FTP account or you can just remove that account with several clicks and stop worrying about somebody accessing it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all website hosting accounts, will allow you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes only a click to administer various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting are incredibly powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting many Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to limit the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to check the access path and to change it, if needed. Also, you can set up the account in an FTP client of your choosing by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your computer system, which will save you time. In case you’ve never opened a web hosting account previously, you can watch our in-depth instructional video clips, which are available in the very same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

None of the Linux VPS hosting offered by our company includes a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create an FTP account for any site hosted on the virtual server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. Besides, it does not matter which Control Panel you will choose when you register – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. In case you want a number of people to access one and the same directory with their very own set of log-in credentials, for example, it will take a few clicks to create a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or changing the directory that it can connect to is just as easy and you will not experience any impediment, even if you lack previous experience in such matters.
