FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transmitting website files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their task without being able to access any other directory in your hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple websites using web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

You can set up as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux cloud packages offered by our company, since we’ve decided not to limit this feature. In this way, you can have multiple websites at once or grant other individuals access to different directories. As soon as a particular job has been carried out and you would not like that person to be able to access your website files anymore, you can edit the password for the FTP account or you can just delete the account with a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying about somebody connecting to it once more. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all hosting accounts, will allow you to view the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one single mouse click to administer various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages are exceptionally powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting a huge number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to limit the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with each semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to view the access path and to edit it, if needed. Also, you can set up an account in your preferred FTP client by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your personal computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never had a hosting account before, you can check our exhaustive how-to video clips, which are available in the very same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

The virtual private server packages that we’re offering will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which VPS package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the registration procedure – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. In any case, you’ll receive FTP access to the VPS server without having to install any software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the software stack which is included in the VPS packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you’ve registered or even different FTP accounts for a single directory – in case you want a number of people to access the website content inside it using their own set of login details. With any of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account will require no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse through a user-friendly GUI.
