FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most commonly used methods of exchanging web files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP client like FileZilla, you can connect to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will do all the rest. There are several benefits of using File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume a download/upload when there is a problem with the FTP connection and the ability to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect solution especially if you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you have created straight from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Our web hosting plans will allow you to set up multiple FTP accounts with just a few clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what website files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any particular time. In case you do not want to use a specific FTP account anymore or if a web designer has fulfilled their task and you don’t want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to see all currently active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with a single mouse click. You will be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etcetera. We also have a detailed Help library, which will help you manage your FTP accounts if you have any complication.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service are really powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting lots of websites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to restrict the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to modify it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your home PC, which will save you time. In case you have never used a web hosting account before, you can check our exhaustive educational video clips, which are available in the exact same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

None of the VPS hosting service that we’re offering has any cap on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create a separate FTP account for any website hosted on your virtual machine, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. What’s more, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will select when you register – Hepsia or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on the VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want different persons to be able to make an FTP connection to the same directory with their own set of log-in credentials, for instance, it will take a few clicks of the mouse to set up a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or changing the folder that it can access is just as simple and you will not encounter any problem, even if you lack past experience in such matters.
