FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most famous methods of sending website files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will cope with the rest. There are several pros of using FTP, including the possibility to restart a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other information, which makes it the very best solution especially when you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to define what web files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you will be able to have as many as you need at any given time. In case you do not want to use a particular FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has accomplished their job and you do not want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to check all currently existing accounts displayed alphabetically, along with various options, which you can access with one single mouse click. You’ll be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have in-depth help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you have any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the package that you have selected upon registration, as the FTP access is one of the standard features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can create as many FTP accounts as you need through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you don’t require a given account anymore, you can simply remove it and prevent people who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter option is especially handy if you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT specialist leaves your company and you do not want them to connect to the website files any longer. A comprehensive Help repository that includes how-to videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any prior experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS
None of the Linux VPS offered by our company has any limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can set up a separate account for any site hosted on the VPS server, regardless of whether it is under a domain or subdomain. Besides, it does not matter which Control Panel you will choose when you register – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, since an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want different people to set up an FTP connection to the very same folder using their very own set of sign-in credentials, for example, it’ll take a couple of clicks of the mouse to set up an FTP account for each of them. Deleting an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you will not come across any complication, even if you have no past experience in such matters.
