File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is among the most widespread means of transferring files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software itself will take care of all the rest. There are a number of pros of employing FTP, including the possibility to resume an upload/download in case there is a problem with the FTP connection or the option to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect option particularly when you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to use third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Each of the cloud hosting plans offered by us will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your websites independently or to grant other persons access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design program installed on your PC, you will be able to manage numerous websites at the same time and to update them with no effort. In case you provide the login information to another individual to carry out a specific task, you will be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with only a few clicks and avoid any chance of unsolicited access to your web content from then on. For convenience’s sake, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server plan that you’ve chosen on the order page, as the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll get. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not need a certain account any longer, you can just delete it and block people who have used it before from connecting to it again. This functionality is particularly handy in case you use the services of a web developer or in case an IT specialist quits the firm and you don’t want them to connect to the web files anymore. An exhaustive Help repository that contains how-to video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you don’t have any prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from us, you will have the opportunity to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, no matter the hosting Control Panel that you have picked during the server order procedure – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Depending on your demands, you can create a different FTP account for each Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a given folder – if you want to permit different persons to be able to connect to that folder using their very own set of log-in credentials. Even if you’ve never opened a web hosting account previously or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you will not have any problems setting up, removing or editing any FTP account on the VPS, as everything is done via a simple-to-use interface and takes just a few clicks.
