FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous means of transferring files to a web hosting account. With an FTP app that’s installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can set up a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the files that you need with a few clicks. This is done via a simple-to-work-with GUI and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you can set up separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to give someone access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to access only a specific directory and will not be able to see the rest of your content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are compulsory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the shared hosting plans offered by us, because we have decided not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can manage numerous websites at once or provide other people with access to different folders. Once a specific task has been done and you don’t want that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can change the password associated with the FTP account or you can just remove the account with a couple of mouse clicks and quit worrying about anyone accessing it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting accounts, will permit you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes only a click to manage different options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve selected during the signup process, 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 allowance, so you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you do not need a specific account anymore, you can just remove it and stop individuals who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter option is particularly useful in case you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT individual retires from your company and you don’t want them to connect to the website files anymore. A detailed Help database that includes tutorial video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans that we’re offering will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which plan you get and which hosting Control Panel you pick during the order process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. In any case, you’ll gain FTP access to the VPS server without installing any kind of software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the standard software stack which comes with the VPS plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you host or even several accounts for a single directory – in case you want a number of individuals to connect to the content inside it with their own set of sign-in details. With any of the Control Panels, setting up, deleting or editing an FTP account takes no more than several clicks through a simple-to-work-with GUI.
