FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular method of sending website files to a web hosting account. With an FTP client app that’s installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can connect to your hosting server and copy all of the files that you want with several clicks. You can do this using an easy-to-use GUI and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’re able to set up different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you would like to provide somebody with access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one specific folder and will not be able to see the rest of your web content or any other info, including private details. Three things are mandatory in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Creating and managing multiple FTP accounts will be unbelievably easy with each of our Linux hosting plans. This service is not restricted, so with our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your sites and to get your web-related tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one click of the mouse via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve set up and what folders they can connect to. Handy options such as updating the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP programs are also just one click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans are incredibly powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting an immense number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to restrict the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with each and every semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to update it, if necessary. Furthermore, you can set up a new account in a client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your PC, which will save you time. If you’ve never used a hosting account previously, you can check our in-depth instructional video clips, which can be accessed through the same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the opportunity to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS server plans, no matter which hosting Control Panel you’ve chosen during the signup process – cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your needs, you can create a separate FTP account for each website or several accounts with access to a specific folder – in case you’d like to allow different users to access that folder with their own login details. Even if you have never opened a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you will not have any difficulties creating, removing or editing any FTP account on the machine, since everything’s done through a simple-to-work-with GUI and takes just a couple of mouse clicks.
