FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for transmitting web files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect 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 will need 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. File Transfer Protocol is used by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to access any other folder in the web hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites using web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be really easy with each of our Linux web hosting. This feature isn’t restricted, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you need to manage your websites and to get your web-related tasks done. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one mouse click via the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and the directories that they can access. Useful functions such as modifying the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP clients are also only one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated service are rather powerful, which makes them perfect for hosting a large number of websites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different FTP account for each Internet site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to check the access path and to modify it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your PC, which will save you time. If you have never opened a hosting account previously, you can check out our comprehensive instructional videos, which are available in the exact same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS servers that we offer includes any restriction on the total number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can set up an FTP account for any site hosted on your VPS, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. In addition, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you’ll pick when you join – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on the VPS at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different persons to connect to the exact same directory using their own personal sign-in credentials, for example, it will take a few clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as easy and you won’t have to deal with any complications, even if you have no past experience in such matters.
