FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular way to upload and download web files between a home computer and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All it takes to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by a lot of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their task without being able to see any other folder in your hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple sites using web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Any of the cloud hosting plans that we’re offering will allow you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to manage the content of your Internet sites separately or to give other people access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. If you have a web design software program pre-installed on your computer, you’ll be able to run multiple websites at the same time and to update them effortlessly. If you provide the login info to another person for a given task, you will be able to update the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with only a few mouse clicks and avoid any possibility of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated plan that you have selected upon registration, as the FTP access is among the default features that you will get. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you wish via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a given account any longer, you can just remove it and prevent people who have used it previously from connecting to it again. The latter functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT person quits your company and you do not want them to connect to the web files anymore. A detailed Help library that contains how-to videos will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you don’t possess previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
None of the VPS plans that we’re offering has a restriction on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any moment, so you can create an FTP account for each Internet site hosted on the Virtual Private Server, no matter if it’s under a domain or subdomain. In addition, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose when you order – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, since an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want a number of individuals to connect to the same folder using their own sign-in details, for example, it will take a few clicks to set up an FTP account for each of them. Deleting an existing account or modifying the directory that it can connect to is just as easy and you won’t come across any problem, even if you do not have any previous experience in such matters.
