FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for exchanging files between a home computer and a server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All it takes to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by plenty of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can fulfill their job without being able to access any other folder in your website hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous Internet sites using web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be amazingly easy with any of our cloud website hosting. This service isn’t restricted, so using our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need to manage your sites and to get your website-related tasks done. In case you hire a web designer and they are done with the website, for example, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just one single mouse click through the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to see a list of all the FTP accounts that you have created and the directories that they can access. Handy options such as editing the password or the access path and downloading an auto-configuration file for famous FTP client applications are also just a click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve selected during the subscription process, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to make use of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your web content too. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not need a given account any longer, you can simply remove it and block persons who have used it previously from connecting to it again. This functionality is particularly handy in case you use the services of a designer or in case an IT individual exits the company and you don’t want them to connect to the website files any longer. A detailed Help library that includes video tutorials will help you administer your FTP accounts if you don’t have previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server packages that we’re offering will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which package you get and which Control Panel you select at signup – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. In all cases, you will have FTP access to the virtual machine without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the software bundle which is included in the VPS plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you have registered or even separate FTP accounts for one single folder – in case you want a number of persons to access the website content in it with their very own sign-in credentials. With each of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or modifying an FTP account requires no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse through an easy-to-navigate web-based interface.
