FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular way to transmit web files between a home PC and a server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main 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 a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can carry out their job without being able to access any other content in the hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create numerous sites with web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Each of the cloud website hosting packages offered by our company will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your websites separately or to give other persons access to any website in your hosting account. In case you have a web design app installed on your computer, you’ll be able to maintain numerous sites simultaneously and to keep them up to date without efforts. In case you give the login info to some other person for a specific task, you’ll be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it entirely with just a few clicks of the mouse and prevent any chance of unauthorized access to your content from then on. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers are rather powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting a large number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different FTP account for each website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you will be able to see the access path and to update it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up the account in an FTP client of your preference by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your personal computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never used a web hosting account previously, you can watch our in-depth how-to video clips, which are available in the same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

If you want, you can even create several FTP accounts for the exact same domain name and give several people their own personal sign-in credentials to access the website content. Any of the 3 Control Panels will offer you the chance to create, to modify or to delete an FTP account in several simple steps and with less than a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you have no prior experience, you will be able to administer an account without any hassles.
