File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is one of the most commonly used means for transmitting files between a computer and a server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software will handle all the rest. There’re several pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to resume a download/upload when there’s some problem with the connection or the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other info, which makes it the perfect option particularly if you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to resort to third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the Linux cloud website hosting service offered by our company, as we’ve decided not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can maintain numerous sites simultaneously or provide other persons with access to separate folders. Once a given job has been fulfilled and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your web files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about anyone connecting to it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared web hosting plans, will permit you to see the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one click of the mouse to administer different options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a different FTP account for any of them, as we haven’t set a restriction on this service with any of our plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our simple-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you will be able to update the password for a particular account or to modify its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not require it any longer – for example, if you have hired a web developer who’s finished with the site and you do not want them to connect to your files anymore. For your convenience, we have prepared different instructional videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts if you’ve never used a web hosting plan previously.
