FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for sending website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their task without being able to view any other folder in the web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous Internet sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be astonishingly easy with any of our hosting. This functionality isn’t restricted, so using our simple-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your web-related tasks done. If you hire a developer and they are done with the site, for example, you can edit the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only a click via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and what directories they can access. Useful functions such as changing the password or the access path and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP applications are also only one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Using our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you would like, even separate accounts with access to the very same folder – if you would like different people to be able to access the same content with different login details. Our semi-dedicated servers don’t involve a limit on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can have at the same time, so you will be able to manage your web files and to modify your websites effortlessly. In case you’d like to block the access to your website content, you can alter the folder that an account can access or you can remove the account completely with no more than a couple of mouse clicks through the Control Panel. You’ll be able to view all the FTP accounts and to edit any of them, if needed. For the sake of convenience, you can also download an auto-configuration file for a number of FTP client apps. In addition, we have detailed help articles and tutorial videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts seamlessly.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers that we’re offering includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create an FTP account for each Internet site hosted on the server, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. Also, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will pick when you join – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, since an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want several persons to make an FTP connection to one and the same directory using their own personal log-in details, for example, it’ll take a couple of clicks of the mouse to create a different FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t have any difficulty, even if you do not have any prior experience in such matters.
