FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular way to exchange website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can do their job without being able to access any other content in the website hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous Internet sites with web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

Each of the website hosting plans offered by us will permit you to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your Internet sites separately or to give other persons access to any Internet site in your website hosting account. If you’ve got a web design app pre-installed on your computer, you will be able to manage multiple websites at the same time and to update them without any efforts. In case you provide the login credentials to another individual for a particular task, you will be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with just a few clicks of the mouse and prevent any possibility of unsolicited access to your content in the future. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for any of them, since we haven’t restricted this service with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you will be able to update the password for a specific account or to edit its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account with ease in case you do not need it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your web files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have shot a number of instructional videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts if you have never used a web hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from us, you will get the opportunity to create unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS packages, regardless of the hosting Control Panel that you have chosen upon registration – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Depending on your necessities, you can have a separate FTP account for every website or a number of FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you would like to permit a number of persons to connect to that folder with their own sign-in details. Even if you’ve never had a hosting account previously or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problem creating, removing or editing any FTP account on the virtual machine, as everything’s done through a user-friendly web-based interface and takes just a couple of mouse clicks.
