FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method for exchanging files between a home computer and a web server. Using an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to view any other folder in your hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple Internet sites using web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Creating and managing numerous FTP accounts will be quite easy with any of our Linux website hosting. This functionality is not limited, so with our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can update the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with only one single click from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and the directories that they can connect to. Handy functions such as modifying the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for widespread FTP apps are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting packages are stunningly powerful, which makes them perfect for hosting many sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to put a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different account for each website that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to update it, if necessary. Furthermore, you can set up an account in a client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never used a hosting account before, you can watch our comprehensive video tutorials, which can be accessed through the very same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
None of the Linux VPS hosting packages that we are offering includes any limitation on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create an account for each Internet site hosted on your VPS server, no matter if it’s under a domain or subdomain. In addition, it does not matter which Control Panel you’ll choose when you join – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia, as an FTP server will be set up on your VPS at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want a number of people to be able to establish an FTP connection to the exact same folder using their own personal log-in credentials, for instance, it’ll take a couple of clicks of the mouse to set up an FTP account for each one of them. Removing an active account or modifying the folder that it can access is just as easy and you will not encounter any impediments, even if you don’t have previous experience in such matters.
