FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most popular method for transferring web files to a web hosting account. With an FTP client app that’s pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can connect to your website hosting server and copy all of the files that you need with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this via a simple-to-work-with graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’ll be able to set up separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to grant someone access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only a particular folder and will not be able to access the remaining web content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are needed to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Our website hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel and to choose what website files and folders each account can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any particular moment. In case you don’t want to use a certain FTP account anymore or in case a web designer has accomplished their task and you don’t want them to access your web content anymore, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to see all currently active accounts listed alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one single click. You’ll be able to change the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have an elaborate Help library, which will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you have to deal with any obstacle.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Using our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish, even separate accounts with access to the exact same directory – if you want several individuals to be able to access the same content with different login credentials. Our semi-dedicated packages do not have a limit on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can have at a time, so you’ll be able to manage your files and to modify your websites without efforts. In case you’d like to limit the access to your website content, you can change the directory that an account can access or you can delete the account entirely with no more than a few clicks of the mouse from the Control Panel. You’ll be able to check all the accounts and to modify any of them, if needed. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-configuration file for various FTP clients. What’s more, we have compiled detailed help articles and tutorial videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without any hassle.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
None of the Linux VPS hosting offered by us includes a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any moment, so you can create an FTP account for each Internet site hosted on your server, no matter if it is under a domain or sub-domain. Also, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will choose when you order – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine during the installation of any of them. In case you want several individuals to be able to make a connection to the exact same folder using their own sign-in details, for example, it’ll take several mouse clicks to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an active account or modifying the directory that it can access is just as easy and you will not have to deal with any obstacles, even if you don’t have any past experience in such matters.
