FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular way to exchange web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have 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 used by plenty of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to see any other directory in the website hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create numerous websites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the shared hosting service that we’re offering, because we’ve chosen not to limit this functionality. Thus, you can have multiple Internet sites all at once or provide other persons with access to separate folders. As soon as a certain job has been accomplished and you do not want that individual to be able to access your files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can just delete the account with a few clicks and quit worrying about anybody accessing it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting plans, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single mouse click to administer various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers are extremely powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting many Internet sites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to set a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you’ll be able to check the access path and to change it, if needed. Furthermore, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your home PC, which will save you time. If you have never used a hosting account before, you can watch our exhaustive educational video clips, which are available in the very same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the Linux VPS web hosting service that we are offering has a limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create an account for any Internet site hosted on the Virtual Private Server, irrespective of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. What’s more, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will select when you subscribe – 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. In case you want different users to be able to make a connection to the exact same directory using their very own log-in details, for instance, it’ll take a couple of mouse clicks to create a separate FTP account for each one of them. Removing an active account or changing the folder that it can connect to is just as simple and you won’t need to deal with any problem, even if you don’t have any prior experience in such matters.
