FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most commonly used means of uploading and downloading website files between a PC and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software will deal with the rest. There’re a number of pluses of employing FTP, among them the ability to resume a download/upload when there’s some problem with the connection or the option to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the perfect solution particularly when you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to use any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
Our web hosting plans will permit you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only a few clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit to the maximum number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you like at any given time. In case you wouldn’t like to use a certain FTP account anymore or in case a designer has done their task and you don’t want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to view all currently existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with a single mouse click. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have an extensive Help database, which can help you administer your FTP accounts if you come across any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to set up a separate FTP account for any of them, as we haven’t put a restriction on this feature with any of our plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to change the password for a particular account or to update its access path with a few clicks. You can also delete an account with ease if you don’t require it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a developer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to connect to your files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we’ve created different tutorial video clips, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort in case you’ve never used a web hosting package previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the VPS web hosting services offered by our company has any restriction on the total number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can set up a separate FTP account for any Internet site hosted on your VPS, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Furthermore, it does not matter which Control Panel you will choose when you subscribe – Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine during the configuration of any of them. In case you want a number of persons to connect to the same folder with their very own sign-in credentials, for example, it’ll take several clicks to create a separate FTP account for each of them. Deleting an active account or modifying the directory that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t encounter any problems, even if you have no past experience in such matters.
