FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most commonly used methods for transmitting web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software itself will do all the rest. There’re several pluses of employing FTP, among them the ability to resume a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection or the option to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other info, which makes it the perfect solution particularly in case you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you have created directly from them, without the need to make use of 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the Linux shared website hosting that we’re offering, as we’ve chosen not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can have multiple sites all at once or provide other individuals with access to different folders. Once a given task has been carried out and you would not like that person to be able to access your web files any longer, you can modify the password associated with the given FTP account or you can simply remove the account with several mouse clicks and stop worrying about anybody connecting to it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting plans, will permit you to view the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes only one click to manage different options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, as we haven’t set a restriction on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to modify the password for a specific account or to edit its access path with several mouse clicks. You can also delete an account with ease if you do not need it any longer – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who is done with the website and you do not want them to be able to access your files any longer. For your convenience, we’ve shot different how-to videos, which will help you manage your FTP accounts with no effort if you have never used a web hosting package previously.
