FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to send website files between a home computer and a web server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All it takes to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can fulfill their task without being able to view any other folder in the website hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build multiple sites using web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to set up numerous FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel and to select what web files and folders each account can access. There’s no upper limit on the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you’ll be able to have as many as you want at any particular time. In case you would not like to use a certain FTP account anymore or if a web designer has done their task and you do not want them to connect to the website content anymore, you can simply delete that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to see all currently existing accounts listed alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with a single click of the mouse. You’ll be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, and so on. We also have a detailed Help library, which will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you come across any difficulty.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

None of the Linux VPS web hosting services that we are offering includes a limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can create a separate FTP account for any website hosted on your virtual machine, no matter if it’s under a domain or sub-domain. Also, it doesn’t matter which Control Panel you will select when you register – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, since an FTP server will be set up on the virtual machine during the configuration of any of them. If you want several users to establish a connection to the same directory using their own set of login credentials, for instance, it’ll take a few clicks of the mouse to create an FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or modifying the directory that it can connect to is just as simple and you will not come across any complication, even if you don’t have any prior experience in such matters.
