File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most famous method for sending files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP program that’s installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with a few clicks of the mouse. This is done via a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you’ll be able to create several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you wish to provide a 3rd party with access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to access only one specific directory and will not be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, including private details. You need three things to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Our hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just a couple of clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to define what files and folders each one can access. There is no upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you are allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any given moment. If you wouldn’t like to use a particular FTP account anymore or if a designer has completed their job and you do not want them to connect to the website content any longer, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently active FTP accounts listed alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You will be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have exhaustive help tutorials, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you need to deal with any problem.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t set a restriction on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our simple-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to modify its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts if you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a web developer who is finished with the site and you do not want them to be able to access your web files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we’ve selected different how-to video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without any effort if you have never used a website hosting service previously.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
The virtual private server packages that we’re offering will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts to manage the content of your websites. This is valid irrespective of which package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you select on the order form – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. In any case, you will be given FTP access to the VPS without installing any kind of software, since an FTP server is part of the basic software suite that is included in the Virtual Private Server plans by default. You can set up one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you have registered or even multiple accounts for one single directory – if you want different users to be able to connect to the content inside it with their own set of sign-in details. With any of the Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account will require no more than a few clicks of the mouse via a simple-to-use GUI.
