File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is one of the most popular means of uploading and downloading website files between a computer and a web server. With FTP software such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software will do all the rest. There’re a number of pros of using FTP, including the ability to restart a download/upload if there is some problem with the connection or the option to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other info, which makes it the ideal option particularly when you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you’ve created directly from them, without any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just several clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to choose what files and folders each one can connect to. There is no upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you want at any particular moment. In case you would not like to use a given FTP account any longer or if a web designer has accomplished their task and you do not want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to view all currently existing accounts displayed alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with a single mouse click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have an exhaustive Help section, which can help you administer your FTP accounts should you come across any complication.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each of them, as we have not put a limit on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you will be able to modify the password for a specific FTP account or to change its access path with a few clicks. You can also remove an account with ease if you do not need it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a designer who’s done with the website and you do not want them to access your website files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have made different tutorial videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a web hosting package previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

The VPS server packages that we’re offering will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid regardless of which VPS package you purchase and which hosting Control Panel you select during the order process – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. In any case, you’ll be provided with FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without having to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the basic software stack that is included in the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you’ve got or even multiple accounts for one single directory – if you want a number of people to be able to connect to the content in it with their very own personal login credentials. With any of the Control Panels, creating, deleting or editing an FTP account requires no more than a couple of mouse clicks through an easy-to-use web-based interface.
