FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular way to exchange website files between a home PC and a web server. With an FTP program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you need to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their job without being able to access any other content in your hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous sites using web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Any of the hosting plans that we’re offering will permit you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites independently or to grant other people access to any site in your hosting account. If you’ve got a web design app pre-installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to run multiple websites at the same time and to keep them updated without a hitch. In case you give the login details to another person to carry out a specific task, you will be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to delete it completely with only a few mouse clicks and avoid any possibility of unauthorized access to your website content from then on. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for any of them, as we haven’t put a restriction on this service with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to modify the password for a given account or to modify its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account with no effort in case you do not need it anymore – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who’s done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to connect to your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have compiled different instructional videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts if you have never used a website hosting package previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the Linux VPS web hosting packages offered by us includes a cap on the total number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create a separate FTP account for each Internet site hosted on your VPS, no matter if it is under a domain or subdomain. Moreover, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose when you register – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on your VPS during the installation of any of them. In case you want a number of persons to set up a connection to the exact same directory with their own set of login credentials, for instance, it will take a couple of clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the folder that it can access is just as easy and you will not have any impediment, even if you don’t have any previous experience in such matters.
