FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for sending files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you have to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their task without being able to view any other directory in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous Internet sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be pretty easy with any of our Linux shared web hosting. This service is not restricted, so using our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you have to, in order to administer your sites and to get your web-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can update the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only a click via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you have created and the directories that they can access. Useful functions such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for famous FTP client applications are also just a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans are very powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting an immense number of websites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate FTP account for each site that you host on our servers. 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 server account. For any of them, you will 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 preference by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your personal computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never opened a web hosting account previously, you can check out our comprehensive how-to 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 be provided with the chance to create unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS server packages, irrespective of which Control Panel you’ve picked during the subscription procedure – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. Depending on your necessities, you can have a separate FTP account for each website or a number of FTP accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you want to permit several people to be able to connect to that folder using their very own sign-in details. Even if you’ve never used a web hosting account before or if you’ve only had a shared one, you will not have any problems setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the VPS server, as everything’s done through an easy-to-use web interface and takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
