FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widespread means for sending web files between a PC and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will handle the rest. There’re a number of pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to restart a download/upload when there is some problem with the FTP connection or the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the ideal option particularly when you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to resort to 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
You can create as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the Linux cloud website hosting offered by our company, as we’ve chosen not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can have multiple Internet sites at once or give other individuals access to different folders. As soon as a certain job has been done and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can modify the password for the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a few clicks and quit worrying about anyone connecting to it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all shared web hosting plans, will permit you to see the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single mouse click to administer various options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the package that you have opted for on the order page, since the FTP access is one of the standard features that you will be able to use. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can set up as many accounts as you like from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you don’t need a specific account any longer, you can just remove it and stop individuals who have used it before from accessing it again. This option is especially handy if you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT individual departs your firm and you do not want them to access the website files any longer. An in-depth Help section that comprises video tutorials will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you don’t possess any previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS plans offered by our company includes any cap on the number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can set up a separate FTP account for any site hosted on the server, regardless of whether it is under a domain or sub-domain. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you will select when you register – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want a number of users to access the very same directory with their own personal log-in credentials, for instance, it’ll take a couple of clicks of the mouse to create a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or changing the directory that it can access is just as easy and you will not experience any impediment, even if you have no previous experience in such matters.
