FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous method of transferring content to a hosting account. With an FTP client that’s pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with a couple of mouse clicks. You can do this via an easy-to-work-with graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you will be able to set up different FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you must give someone access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to one specific folder and won’t be able to see the rest of your content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are required to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be quite easy with each of our Linux shared web hosting packages. This feature isn’t restricted, so with our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to administer your websites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a developer and they are done with the website, for example, you can modify the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with just one click via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to see a list of all the accounts that you’ve set up and the folders that they can access. Handy options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP client applications are also only one mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve picked on the order page, as the FTP access is one of the default features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can create as many accounts as you wish from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not need a particular account anymore, you can just delete it and stop people who have used it before from accessing it again. This functionality is especially handy in case you use the services of a designer or in case an IT specialist exits the company and you do not want them to access the website files anymore. An in-depth Help section that contains video tutorials will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you don’t have previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server packages that we offer will enable you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which package you purchase and which Control Panel you choose during the VPS order procedure – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will have FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without having to install any software, as an FTP server is part of the standard software bundle that is included in the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you’ve got or even different FTP accounts for one single directory – if you want a number of persons to access the content in it using their very own login credentials. With each of the offered Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account takes no more than a couple of mouse clicks via an easy-to-navigate web-based interface.
