FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most widely used methods of sending website files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will deal with the rest. There are several advantages of using FTP, including the option to resume a download/upload if there is a problem with the connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the best solution particularly when you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without having to make use of third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Any of the cloud hosting packages that we offer will permit you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your websites independently or to give other people access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. If you have a web design software program installed on your personal computer, you will be able to maintain numerous websites at the same time and to keep them up to date without effort. In case you give the login credentials to another individual to do a particular task, you’ll be able to modify the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with just a few clicks of the mouse and avoid any chance of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For your convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you would like, even different accounts with access to the exact same folder – in case you would like different persons to be able to connect to the exact same web content with completely different login credentials. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages do not have any limitation on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you will be able to manage your files and to update your sites without efforts. If you’d like to restrict the access to your web content, you can change the directory that an account can connect to or you can delete the account with no more than a few mouse clicks from the Control Panel. You’ll be able to see all the accounts and to modify any of them, if needed. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for several FTP software programs. In addition, we have comprehensive step-by-step articles and how-to video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without hassle.
FTP Accounts in VPS
None of the Linux VPS packages offered by our company has a limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create a separate FTP account for any website hosted on your machine, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or sub-domain. It also does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will pick when you register – cPanel or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want several users to be able to set up a connection to the exact same directory using their own set of login credentials, for instance, it’ll take a couple of mouse clicks to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them. Removing an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you won’t need to deal with any difficulties, even if you don’t have prior experience in such matters.
