FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular method for uploading web files to a hosting account. With an FTP app that’s installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the files that you want with several clicks. You can do this via an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’ll be able to create separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you have to give somebody access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a particular directory and won’t be able to see the rest of your content or any other information, such as personal details. You need three things to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain name, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to indicate what website files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you are allowed to create, so you will be able to have as many as you wish at any given moment. In case you would not like to use a given FTP account anymore or if a web designer has done their task and you do not want them to access the web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently existing accounts shown alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You will be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc. We also have in-depth help articles, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you come across any impediment.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Using our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish, even different accounts with access to the same directory – in case you would like different users to be able to access the exact same web content with totally different login credentials. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages don’t have a restriction on the maximum number of the FTP accounts that you can have at the same time, so you’ll be able to administer your files and to update your sites without any effort. If you want to stop the access to your web content, you can change the directory that an account can connect to or you can delete the account completely with no more than a few clicks of the mouse through the Control Panel. You’ll be able to see all the FTP accounts and to modify any of them, if needed. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for various FTP apps. Also, we have compiled detailed step-by-step articles and educational videos, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without hassles.
FTP Accounts in VPS
With a virtual private server from us, you’ll be given the ability to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server configurations, no matter the Control Panel that you’ve chosen during the server order process – cPanel, DirectAdmin or Hepsia. Based on your demands, you can have a different FTP account for every Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you wish to permit a number of people to be able to access that folder using their very own sign-in details. Even if you’ve never used a website hosting account previously or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the machine, since everything is done through an easy-to-use interface and takes only a couple of clicks.
