FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most popular method of transmitting website files to a web hosting account. With an FTP client program that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can connect to your website hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with a couple of mouse clicks. You can do this via a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is that you’re able to create separate accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you want to provide somebody with access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only one specific directory and will not be able to see the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. You need three prerequisites to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain name, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting

Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be really easy with any of our website hosting. This functionality is not limited, so with our intuitive Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many accounts as you have to, in order to administer your sites and to get your website-related tasks done. If you hire a web designer and they are done with the website, for example, you can update the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one click through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and the folders that they can connect to. Useful functions such as changing the password or the path and downloading an auto-configuration file for commonly used FTP client applications are also just a click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting are really powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting multiple websites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to put a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate account for each website that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with each semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to check the access path and to change it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up the account in a client of your choosing by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your personal computer, which will save you time. If you have never had a web hosting account before, you can check our detailed how-to video clips, which are available in the exact same Control Panel section.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting

None of the VPS hosting services that we are offering has a restriction on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create an account for any website hosted on the Virtual Private Server, irrespective of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick when you join – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want several users to make a connection to one and the same folder using their own log-in details, for example, it’ll take a couple of mouse clicks to create a separate FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or changing the folder that it can connect to is just as simple and you will not encounter any difficulty, even if you do not have any prior experience in such matters.
