FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most famous means for uploading web files to a hosting account. With an FTP client application that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with several clicks of the mouse. This is done using a user-friendly GUI and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you will be able to create different accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must provide somebody with access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a particular directory and won’t be able to see the rest of your content or any other info, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are needed to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP address, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Our cloud web hosting plans will permit you to create multiple FTP accounts with only several clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can access. There is no upper limit on the total number of accounts that you are allowed to set up, so you’ll be able to have as many as you wish at any particular moment. In case you don’t want to use a certain FTP account any longer or if a web designer has accomplished their task and you don’t want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to view all currently active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with a single mouse click. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have an in-depth Help library, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you run into any complication.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each of them, as we haven’t set a restriction on this service with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you will be able to update the password for a particular account or to modify its access path with several clicks. You can also delete an account effortlessly if you no longer need it – for instance, if you have hired a developer who is finished with the site and you do not want them to be able to access your web files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have selected different how-to video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort if you have never used a hosting plan previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
With a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be provided with the possibility to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS setups, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you have chosen during the order procedure – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Based on your necessities, you can create a different FTP account for every Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a specific folder – if you wish to permit different people to access that folder with their very own sign-in details. Even if you’ve never had a hosting account previously or if you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problems creating, removing or modifying any FTP account on your machine, since everything’s done through an easy-to-use interface and takes only a few clicks of the mouse.
