FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of exchanging website files between a home PC and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can complete their task without accessing any other directory in the website hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build multiple websites using web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be amazingly easy with each of our cloud website hosting. This functionality is not restricted, so using our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks done. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the site, for example, you can change the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with only one mouse click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to see a list of all the accounts that you have set up and what folders they can access. Handy options such as updating the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP programs are also just one mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Using our in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you want, even separate accounts with access to the same directory – if you wish different individuals to be able to connect to the same website content with entirely different login credentials. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a restriction on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can manage at the same time, so you’ll be able to manage your files and to modify your Internet sites with no effort. In case you would like to restrict the access to your web content, you can alter the folder that an account can connect to or you can delete the account altogether with no more than a couple of clicks via the Control Panel. You will be able to check all the FTP accounts and to modify any of them, if necessary. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for a number of FTP client applications. Furthermore, we’ve got exhaustive step-by-step articles and how-to video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts in a seamless way.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you’ll have the chance to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server configurations, regardless of the Control Panel that you’ve chosen during the subscription process – Hepsia or cPanel. Based on your needs, you can set up a different FTP account for each website or several accounts with access to a particular folder – if you want to permit several people to be able to access that folder with their own personal login details. Even if you’ve never had a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on the Virtual Private Server, as everything is done through an intuitive web interface and takes just a few mouse clicks.
