FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for sending content to a hosting account. Using an FTP program that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can connect to your hosting server and copy all of the website files that you need with a few clicks. This is done using an easy-to-use graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’ll be able to set up several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you have to grant someone access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to access only a specific folder and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other information, such as personal details. Three things are compulsory in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the shared website hosting that we are offering, as we’ve chosen not to restrict this service. Thus, you can have numerous Internet sites at the same time or grant other people access to separate directories. As soon as a given job has been done and you do not want that individual to be able to connect to your files any longer, you can edit the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can just remove that account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about anybody connecting to it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting packages, will allow you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes just one single click to manage different options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for any of them, since we have not put a restriction on this feature with any of our plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to update the password for a specific account or to modify its access path with a couple of mouse clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts in case you do not require it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a web designer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to access your files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have prepared different instructional videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you’ve never used a web hosting plan previously.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

In case you open a VPS servers with us and pick any of the 3 Control Panels that we are offering – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, an FTP server will be installed on your machine, since it is an essential part of the basic software suite that comes with all Virtual Private Servers ordered with a hosting Control Panel.

If you wish, you can even create multiple FTP accounts for one and the same domain and give several persons their own personal login credentials to access the web content. Each of the three hosting Control Panels will provide you with the chance to set up, to modify or to remove an FTP account in several simple steps and with less than several mouse clicks, so even if you don’t possess previous experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account without efforts.
