FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular means of exchanging files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will take care of all the rest. There’re several benefits of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to restart a download/upload when there is a problem with the connection and the option to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other info, which makes it the best option especially when you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to use 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with each of the Linux website hosting packages offered by our company, because we’ve chosen not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can run numerous websites at once or give other people access to different folders. Once a specific task has been completed and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password for the FTP account or you can just remove that account with a few mouse clicks and quit worrying about somebody connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting plans, will allow you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one mouse click to administer different options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the package that you’ve selected on the order page, since the FTP access is one of the default features that you will be able to make use of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can create as many FTP accounts as you wish from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a certain account anymore, you can just remove it and block people who have used it before from connecting to it again. The latter option is particularly useful in case you use the services of a web developer or if an IT person departs your firm and you do not want them to connect to the website files any longer. An elaborate Help repository that comprises educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not possess past experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
If you open a Linux VPS web hosting packages with our company and choose any of the three Control Panels that we’re offering – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin, an FTP server will be installed on your machine, since it’s an integral part of the standard software bundle that comes with all VPS servers ordered with a Control Panel. This will allow you to create as many FTP accounts as you wish and to define what directory each one of them will access. If you want, you can even create several FTP accounts for the same domain name and give a number of users their very own set of log-in credentials to connect to the content. Each of the three Control Panels will provide you with the opportunity to set up, to modify or to delete an FTP account in several easy steps and with less than a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you do not have prior experience, you’ll be able to administer an FTP account without a hitch.
