FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular way to upload web content to a hosting account. With FTP software that’s installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you need with several clicks. You can do this using a simple-to-use graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you’d like to provide someone with access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only a specific directory and won’t be able to see the remaining web content or any other info, including personal details. Three things are necessary to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be astonishingly easy with any of our Linux cloud plans. This service isn’t limited, so using our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to manage your sites and to get your web-connected tasks completed. In case you hire a designer and they’re done with the site, for example, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one single click of the mouse from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have set up and what directories they can access. Useful options such as updating the password or the path and downloading an auto-config file for famous FTP client apps are also just a click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we have not set a restriction on this service with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. 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 accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to update the password for a specific FTP account or to update its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a designer who is done with the site and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we’ve created a number of video tutorials, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort if you’ve never used a hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server plans that we offer will allow you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which Virtual Private Server plan you buy and which Control Panel you select during the registration process – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In any case, you will gain FTP access to the virtual machine without the need to install any software, as an FTP server is part of the basic software bundle that is included in the VPS packages by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you own or even separate FTP accounts for a single directory – if you want several persons to be able to connect to the website content in it using their very own set of log-in credentials. With any of the available Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account takes no more than several mouse clicks through a simple-to-work-with GUI.
