FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most famous means for transferring files to a hosting account. Using FTP client software that’s installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can set up a connection to your website hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with a few clicks of the mouse. This is done using a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you can create separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you’d like to provide someone with access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only a specific folder and won’t be able to view the remaining content or any other info, including private details. Three things are necessary to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can access. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you like at any given time. In case you don’t want to use a particular FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has accomplished their job and you don’t want them to connect to your web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order, together with various options, which you can access with a click. You’ll be able to modify the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have in-depth help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you experience any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated servers are extremely powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting plenty of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate FTP account for each Internet site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you’ll be able to check the access path and to modify it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up the account in a client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your computer, which will save you time. If you have never had a web hosting account previously, you can check our comprehensive educational videos, which can be accessed through the very same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans that we offer will allow you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which plan you get and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the signup procedure – cPanel or Hepsia. In all cases, you will have FTP access to the virtual server without the need to install any kind of software, as an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software suite which comes with the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or subdomain that you have or even different accounts for one single directory – in case you want a number of people to access the website content inside it using their own sign-in credentials. With each of the offered Control Panels, setting up, deleting or editing an FTP account takes no more than a few clicks of the mouse via a user-friendly GUI.
