FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means of transferring web content to a hosting account. With an FTP application that is pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with a couple of mouse clicks. You can do this via a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you are able to set up different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you have to give somebody access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only a specific folder and won’t be able to see the remaining web content or any other info, such as personal details. Three must-haves are needed to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Any of the hosting packages that we offer will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to give other persons access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. In case you’ve got a web design software application pre-installed on your computer, you’ll be able to manage multiple Internet sites simultaneously and to keep them up to date without any effort. In case you give the login details to some other individual for a specific task, you’ll be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it entirely with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and prevent any chance of unsolicited access to your web content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t set a restriction on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you will be able to change the password for a specific account or to change its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly in case you no longer need it – for instance, if you’ve hired a web designer who is done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to connect to your web files anymore. For your convenience, we’ve made different video tutorials, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without any effort if you’ve never used a website hosting package before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

If you open a VPS web hosting plans with us and select any of the 3 hosting Control Panels that we’re offering – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, an FTP server will be installed on your virtual machine, since it is an integral part of the standard software pack that comes with all VPSs ordered with a Control Panel.
