FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of uploading and downloading web files between a home PC and a server. Using an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make 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 will need to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to view any other content in the web hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build multiple sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting plans will allow you to create numerous FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia Control Panel and to select what web files and folders each account can access. There is no upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you can create, so you can have as many as you want at any given moment. In case you don’t want to use a particular FTP account any longer or if a designer has completed their task and you do not want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently existing accounts shown in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with a click. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have an exhaustive Help database, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you encounter any difficulties.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the package that you have chosen upon registration, since the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can set up as many FTP accounts as you like through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a particular account anymore, you can just delete it and block people who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter functionality is especially useful if you use the services of a web designer or if an IT professional leaves your firm and you do not want them to connect to the web files anymore. A comprehensive Help section that comprises instructional videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not possess past experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you have registered or even several FTP accounts for a single folder – in case you want different persons to access the website content in it with their very own log-in credentials.
