FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular way to transfer files between a PC and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their job without being able to view any other folder in your web hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous websites using web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Any of the web hosting plans that we are offering will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to provide other persons with access to any Internet site in your hosting account. In case you have a web design app installed on your home PC, you will be able to maintain numerous Internet sites all at once and to keep them up to date without any effort. If you give the login info to some other person to do a certain task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it entirely with only a couple of clicks of the mouse and prevent any risk of unauthorized access to your content in the future. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you create will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server plan that you have opted for during the registration process, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll be able to use. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your web content too. All the accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you don’t need a given account anymore, you can simply remove it and block people who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter option is especially useful in case you use the services of a web developer or if an IT expert leaves the company and you don’t want them to connect to the website files any longer. A comprehensive Help library that comprises how-to video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you don’t possess previous experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server packages that we offer will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which Virtual Private Server package you order and which Control Panel you pick during the VPS order process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. In any case, you’ll have FTP access to the VPS server without the need to install any software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the software stack that comes with the Virtual Private Server packages by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you have registered or even multiple accounts for a single directory – in case you want a number of individuals to connect to the content inside it using their very own set of login details. With each of the Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account will require no more than a few clicks through a simple-to-navigate web-based interface.
