FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most widespread ways to send files between a computer system and a web server. With FTP client software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will deal with all the rest. There are a number of advantages of employing FTP, including the possibility to restart an upload/download when there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the ideal solution particularly when you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you have created directly from them, without any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux cloud website hosting that we are offering, since we have decided not to limit this functionality. Thus, you can maintain multiple Internet sites all at once or give other persons access to different directories. As soon as a particular job has been accomplished and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your web files any longer, you can modify the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can just delete the account with several clicks and stop worrying about somebody connecting to it once more. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting plans, will permit you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes just one single click of the mouse to manage various options for any of them – to change the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for any of them, as we haven’t put a restriction on this service with any of our packages. You can do this via the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to change its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account with ease in case you no longer need it – for example, if you’ve hired a designer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to connect to your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have selected a number of tutorial videos, that will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort in case you have never used a web hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the ability to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS configurations, irrespective of which Control Panel you’ve picked on the order page – cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your demands, you can have a separate FTP account for each Internet site or several accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you wish to allow different persons to be able to access that folder using their very own login details. Even if you’ve never used a web hosting account before or in case you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problems setting up, deleting or modifying any FTP account on the virtual machine, since everything’s done through a time and effort saving web interface and takes only a couple of clicks.
