FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widely used methods of exchanging web files between a computer and a web server. Using FTP software like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software itself will take care of the rest. There’re several pros of using File Transfer Protocol, including the option to resume a download/upload when there is some problem with the FTP connection or the option to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the ideal solution if you need to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to resort to any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only several clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you will be able to have as many as you want at any particular moment. If you wouldn’t like to use a specific FTP account anymore or if a web designer has completed their task and you do not want them to access your website content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to check all currently active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with different options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You’ll be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have exhaustive help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any predicament.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, as we have not set a limit on this feature with any of our packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If necessary, you will be able to change the password for a given account or to change its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without any effort if you no longer need it – for example, if you have hired a designer who’s done with the Internet site and you do not want them to be able to connect to your website files anymore. For your convenience, we have compiled a number of video tutorials, that will help you manage your FTP accounts with ease if you have never used a web hosting package previously.
