File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is one of the most popular methods of exchanging website files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP client like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will cope with the rest. There are several benefits of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to resume a download/upload when there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the possibility to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other information, which makes it the best solution particularly in case you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you have created straight from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
Each of the web hosting packages offered by us will allow you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your sites independently or to give other people access to any site in your web hosting account. In case you have a web design program installed on your PC, you’ll be able to administer multiple Internet sites simultaneously and to keep them up to date with no effort. If you provide the login information to some other individual for a given task, you’ll be able to update the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with only a few clicks and prevent any chance of unsolicited access to your content from then on. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you create will be listed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve chosen during the registration process, as the FTP access is one of the default features that you will be able to use. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your web content too. All the accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you don’t need a certain account any longer, you can simply remove it and stop persons who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly useful in case you use the services of a web developer or in case an IT individual retires from your company and you don’t want them to access the web files any longer. A detailed Help section that contains educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t have any prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages offered by our company will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which Virtual Private Server package you order and which hosting Control Panel you pick during the registration procedure – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. In any case, you will be provided with FTP access to the server without having to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the standard software stack which is included in the VPS packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you have registered or even different FTP accounts for a single directory – in case you want a number of persons to be able to connect to the web content inside it with their own personal login credentials. With each of the available Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account requires no more than a couple of mouse clicks through an intuitive GUI.
