FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means for transmitting files to a hosting account. With an FTP client that’s pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with several clicks of the mouse. You can do this via a user-friendly interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is that you’re able to set up separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you want to provide someone with access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only a specific directory and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, such as personal details. Three things are compulsory in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Each of the hosting plans offered by our company will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your sites separately or to provide other persons with access to any website in your website hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design software program installed on your personal computer, you will be able to run multiple websites at once and to keep them updated without any effort. In case you give the login information to some other person for a given task, you’ll be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with just a couple of clicks and avoid any chance of unsolicited access to your web content in the future. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t put a limit on this service with any of our plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you will be able to edit the password for a specific FTP account or to update its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not require it anymore – for example, if you have hired a developer who is finished with the website and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your web files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we’ve shot different video tutorials, that will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you’ve never used a website hosting service previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS service that we’re offering includes a restriction on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create an account for each website hosted on the machine, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Besides, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll choose when you order – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of people to be able to establish a connection to the very same directory using their very own log-in credentials, for instance, it’ll take a couple of clicks of the mouse to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as easy and you won’t have to deal with any predicaments, even if you do not have any previous experience in such matters.
