FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous method for sending web files to a web hosting account. With an FTP software application that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with a few mouse clicks. You can do this using a simple-to-use GUI and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you can set up separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you wish to give someone access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a particular directory and won’t be able to access the rest of your content or any other info, such as personal details. Three things are obligatory to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP address, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with any of the cloud hosting offered by our company, since we’ve chosen not to restrict this functionality. Thus, you can maintain multiple Internet sites at once or give other individuals access to multiple folders. As soon as a given job has been completed and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to connect to your web files any longer, you can change the password associated with the FTP account or you can simply remove that account with a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about anybody using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all website hosting packages, will allow you to check the complete list of the existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically. It takes only one click to administer different options for any of them – to change the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the package that you have opted for upon registration, since the FTP access is among the default features that you will be able to take advantage of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can set up as many accounts as you need through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you do not need a certain account anymore, you can simply remove it and block people who have used it before from connecting to it again. This option is especially useful if you use the services of a designer or if an IT person leaves your firm and you don’t want them to connect to the website files anymore. An elaborate Help repository that contains tutorial videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the ability to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, irrespective of which Control Panel you have selected upon signup – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. Based on your needs, you can set up a separate FTP account for every site or several FTP accounts with access to a given folder – in case you’d like to allow several individuals to access that folder with their very own set of sign-in details. Even if you have never used a website hosting account previously or if you’ve got experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problem setting up, deleting or editing any FTP account on your virtual server, since everything is done through a time and effort saving web-based interface and takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
