FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents the most popular method for sending content to a web hosting account. With an FTP application that’s installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can make a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the website files that you want with a couple of clicks. This is done via a user-friendly interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you are able to create separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you want to provide a third party with access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular folder and will not be able to see the rest of your content or any other info, including personal details. Three things are necessary to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be quite easy with any of our Linux hosting plans. This feature isn’t restricted, so with our time and effort saving Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to manage your sites and to get your web-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a web designer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can update the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one single click from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can connect to. Useful options such as changing the password or the path and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP client programs are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for any of them, since we have not set a limit on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can do this via the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to modify the password for a given account or to update its access path with a couple of mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without effort in case you no longer need it – for instance, if you have hired a web designer who’s finished with the website and you do not want them to access your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have selected a number of how-to video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you’ve never used a hosting package previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans offered by our company will enable you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid irrespective of which package you order and which Control Panel you select during the server order process – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will be given FTP access to the server without installing any software, as an FTP server is an integral part of the basic software stack which comes with the VPS packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you own or even different accounts for one single directory – in case you want several individuals to access the website content in it using their very own set of sign-in credentials. With each of the offered Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account will require no more than a few clicks of the mouse via a simple-to-work-with web interface.
