FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for sending web files to a web hosting account. With an FTP software application that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with several mouse clicks. This is done using an easy-to-use interface and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you will be able to create separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you need to grant somebody access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only one specific folder and won’t be able to access the remaining web content or any other info, including personal details. You need three prerequisites to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be rather easy with any of our shared hosting plans. This service isn’t limited, so with our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your websites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they’re done with the website, for example, you can edit the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with just one click of the mouse through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the accounts that you have created and the folders that they can access. Useful options such as updating the password or the path and downloading an auto-config file for commonly used FTP software apps are also just one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers are rather powerful, which makes them perfect for hosting an enormous number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to restrict the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different account for each website that you host on our cloud platform. All FTP accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you’ll be able to see the access path and to change it, if needed. Also, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your computer, which will save you time. In case you’ve never opened a hosting account previously, you can watch our exhaustive tutorial video clips, which can be accessed through the very same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from us, you’ll get the possibility to set up unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server configurations, regardless of which hosting Control Panel you have picked during the server order process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. Based on your requirements, you can set up a separate FTP account for each Internet site or several accounts with access to a specific folder – in case you would like to allow a number of users to access that folder with their own set of login credentials. Even if you’ve never used a web hosting account previously or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you won’t have any problems setting up, removing or editing any FTP account on your VPS, since everything’s done through an easy-to-use web-based interface and takes only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
