FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method for exchanging web files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP software program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you will need 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 preferred by plenty of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can complete their job without being able to access any other folder in your hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple Internet sites with web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
You can set up as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the cloud web hosting offered by us, as we have chosen not to limit this feature. In this way, you can maintain multiple Internet sites simultaneously or grant other people access to multiple folders. As soon as a given task has been accomplished and you do not want that person to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can simply remove the account with a couple of mouse clicks and stop worrying about someone using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all website hosting packages, will allow you to see the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just one click to administer various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like, even multiple accounts that can access the same directory – in case you would like several people to be able to access the same web content with different login details. Our semi-dedicated plans do not include any limitation on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you will be able to administer your files and to modify your websites effortlessly. In case you would like to restrict the access to your web content, you can change the folder that an account can access or you can remove the account entirely with no more than a few mouse clicks from the Control Panel. You will be able to check all the accounts and to modify any of them, if needed. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-configuration file for different FTP software applications. In addition, we’ve prepared in-depth step-by-step articles and educational videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without any hassle.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS servers that we’re offering includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can create a separate account for any site hosted on the VPS, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. Besides, it does not matter which Control Panel you will pick when you order – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want several persons to access the same folder using their very own log-in credentials, for example, it will take several clicks to create an FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the directory that it can connect to is just as simple and you won’t have to deal with any impediments, even if you don’t have any past experience in such matters.
