FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most commonly used ways to upload and download website files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software itself will take care of the rest. There are several advantages of using FTP, including the option to resume a download/upload when there is some problem with the connection or the possibility to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the very best solution particularly if you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you have created directly from them, without having to use any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be very easy with each of our shared hosting services. This service is not limited, so with our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to administer your sites and to get your website-connected tasks done. In case you hire a web developer and they are done with the website, for example, you can update the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with only a click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have set up and what directories they can access. Handy functions such as editing the path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP client programs are also just one mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t limited this feature with any of our packages. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you will be able to edit the password for a given FTP account or to change its access path with several clicks. You can also remove an account without effort in case you do not need it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who is done with the site and you do not want them to connect to your web files any longer. For your convenience, we’ve prepared different how-to videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts in case you’ve never used a hosting service previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

None of the VPS hosting that we offer includes any limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create an FTP account for any site hosted on your VPS server, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. Also, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you’ll pick when you register – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different persons to be able to make an FTP connection to the same directory with their own login details, for instance, it will take a few mouse clicks to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Removing an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as easy and you won’t have to deal with any problem, even if you don’t have prior experience in such matters.
