FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most widespread methods for transmitting web files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will take care of all the rest. There are a number of advantages of using FTP, among them the possibility to restart a download/upload in case there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the ability to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the ideal option when you need to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you have created straight from them, without the need to resort to any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be unbelievably easy with each of our cloud website hosting plans. This functionality is not restricted, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need to administer your sites and to get your web-related tasks done. If you hire a web developer and they’re done with the site, for example, you can modify the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with only one single click from the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and the folders that they can connect to. Handy options such as updating the password or the access path and downloading an auto-config file for commonly used FTP software applications are also only a click away.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
With a VPS server from our company, you’ll get the opportunity to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS server setups, regardless of which hosting Control Panel you’ve selected on the order page – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Depending on your requirements, you can set up a separate FTP account for each website or several FTP accounts with access to a given folder – if you would like to permit different people to be able to connect to that folder using their very own set of login details. Even if you have never opened a hosting account previously or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties creating, removing or modifying any FTP account on your virtual machine, as everything is done via an easy-to-navigate web-based interface and takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
