FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most widespread methods for uploading and downloading web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software itself will deal with the rest. There’re a number of advantages of using File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to resume an upload/download when there is a problem with the FTP connection or the option to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other info, which makes it the best option particularly in case you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the websites that you have created straight from them, without the need to resort to any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux hosting packages that we are offering, since we have decided not to restrict this feature. In this way, you can manage numerous sites all at once or give other people access to separate directories. As soon as a specific task has been done and you don’t want that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can update the password for the given FTP account or you can simply remove the account with a couple of clicks and stop worrying about anyone connecting to it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting accounts, will permit you to see the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single click of the mouse to administer various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t put a limit on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, along with the folder that each one can access. If needed, you’ll be able to change the password for a certain account or to modify its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also delete an account without effort if you don’t need it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a designer who is done with the website and you don’t want them to connect to your web files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we’ve created a number of how-to video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly if you have never used a web hosting package before.
