FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), represents the most famous way to transfer website content to a hosting account. Using an FTP client application that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with a couple of clicks. This is done via an intuitive GUI and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you will be able to set up different FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to provide a third party with access, for example – a designer, they will be able to access only one specific directory and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other info, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are mandatory to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting packages will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with just several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel and to select what website files and folders each account can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have as many as you need at any particular time. In case you do not want to use a specific FTP account anymore or if a designer has completed their task and you do not want them to connect to the website content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to check all currently existing FTP accounts listed alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with one click. You’ll be able to update the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have a comprehensive Help section, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you experience any problem.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from us, you will have the opportunity to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your web content. This is valid for all virtual server plans, regardless of which hosting Control Panel you have chosen upon registration – Hepsia or cPanel. Depending on your needs, you can set up a different FTP account for every Internet site or a number of FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – if you would like to permit several persons to access that folder using their own sign-in details. Even if you’ve never opened a website hosting account before or in case you have experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problems creating, removing or editing any FTP account on your server, since everything’s done via an intuitive GUI and takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
