FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular method for transmitting web files to a hosting account. With an FTP application that is installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with several mouse clicks. You can do this via an easy-to-use interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’re able to set up separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you would like to provide a third party with access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to access only one specific directory and will not be able to see the rest of your content or any other info, such as private details. Three prerequisites are compulsory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the shared web hosting plans offered by us, since we have decided not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can manage numerous Internet sites at once or give other people access to different directories. As soon as a given task has been accomplished and you would not like that individual to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can update the password for the FTP account or you can just remove the account with a few mouse clicks and quit worrying about anyone using it once more. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared accounts, will allow you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just a click to manage various options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for any of them, as we have not put a limit on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you will be able to change the password for a given account or to update its access path with a couple of mouse clicks. You can also remove an account with no effort in case you don’t require it any longer – for example, if you have hired a web developer who is finished with the website and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we have compiled different instructional videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you have never used a website hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

Any of the 3 Control Panels will offer you the option to create, to modify or to delete an FTP account in a couple of easy steps and with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse, so even in case you don’t have prior experience, you’ll be able to manage an account in a seamless way.
