File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is one of the most popular means for uploading and downloading website files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software itself will do the rest. There are a number of advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the option to resume a download/upload if there is a problem with the connection or the option to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the very best solution particularly when you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to use any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

You can set up as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the Linux shared web hosting services that we’re offering, since we’ve chosen not to limit this functionality. In this way, you can run multiple Internet sites at the same time or grant other persons access to separate directories. Once a specific task has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to access your website files any longer, you can modify the password associated with the FTP account or you can just remove the account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about someone accessing it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting accounts, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one single click of the mouse to manage different options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the package that you have picked on the order form, as the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you wish from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a certain account any longer, you can just delete it and prevent persons who have used it previously from connecting to it again. The latter option is particularly useful if you use the services of a developer or in case an IT person retires from the firm and you don’t want them to access the website files anymore. An exhaustive Help section that includes video tutorials will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t have previous experience.

Any of the 3 Control Panels will provide you with the ability to set up, to edit or to delete an FTP account in a few easy steps and with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse, so even if you’ve got no past experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account with ease.
