FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is among the most popular methods for exchanging website files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will deal with the rest. There are a number of advantages of using FTP, including the possibility to resume an upload/download when there is a problem with the FTP connection and the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other information, which makes it the perfect option if you need to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you’ve created straight from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Setting up and managing numerous FTP accounts will be rather easy with each of our Linux web hosting packages. This functionality isn’t limited, so using our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to manage your sites and to get your website-related tasks completed. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only one click via the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have set up and what folders they can access. Handy functions such as modifying the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widespread FTP software programs are also only one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the plan that you’ve chosen upon registration, as the FTP access is among the default features that you will be able to use. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many accounts as you like via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content as well. All the accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t need a certain account any longer, you can just delete it and block people who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly useful if you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT specialist retires from the firm and you do not want them to access the web files any longer. A detailed Help repository that contains how-to video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not possess prior experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS

None of the Linux VPS packages that we are offering has any limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create an account for each Internet site hosted on the virtual server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Besides, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will select when you order – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want a number of people to be able to make an FTP connection to the exact same directory using their own set of login credentials, for example, it’ll take a couple of clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each of them. Removing an active account or changing the directory that it can access is just as easy and you won’t need to deal with any complication, even if you do not have any past experience in such matters.
