FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means of transmitting content to a web hosting account. With FTP client software that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can make a connection to your hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with a couple of mouse clicks. You can do this via an easy-to-work-with interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you are able to create different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must provide someone with access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one specific folder and won’t be able to view the remaining web content or any other info, such as private details. Three prerequisites are compulsory to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is usually an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux web hosting packages that we’re offering, because we have decided not to restrict this feature. In this way, you can manage multiple websites simultaneously or grant other persons access to multiple folders. Once a certain task has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can simply delete 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 website hosting accounts, will permit you to check the complete list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one click of the mouse to manage different options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a separate FTP account for each of them, since we have not put a restriction on this service with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the accounts that you have set up, together with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you will be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to edit its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also delete an account without efforts in case you do not require it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a developer who is done with the website and you do not want them to be able to access your files anymore. For convenience’s sake, we have created a number of educational videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort if you have never used a web hosting package before.
