FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular method for uploading website content to a web hosting account. Using an FTP app that’s pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can connect to your hosting server and copy all of the files that you need with a couple of clicks. You can do this via a simple-to-work-with interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you can create different FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you have to provide a 3rd party with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to one particular directory and will not be able to see the remaining web content or any other information, such as personal details. Three must-haves are needed to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be really easy with each of our Linux cloud website hosting. This service isn’t limited, so using our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to manage your sites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a designer and they are done with the website, for example, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just a click from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to see a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and the folders that they can access. Handy functions such as modifying the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP programs are also only a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated package that you have selected on the order page, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll get. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your website content as well. All the accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a given account anymore, you can simply delete it and block persons who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly useful in case you use the services of a designer or if an IT professional quits your firm and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. A comprehensive Help database that contains educational videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not possess any past experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
With a virtual private server from us, you’ll have the chance to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all VPS server plans, no matter which hosting Control Panel you’ve selected during the subscription process – Hepsia, cPanel or DirectAdmin. Depending on your demands, you can have a different FTP account for every Internet site or several accounts with access to a specific folder – if you wish to permit several users to access that folder with their very own login credentials. Even if you have never used a web hosting account previously or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any problems setting up, removing or editing any FTP account on your virtual server, since everything’s done via an easy-to-navigate GUI and takes only a few mouse clicks.
