FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to exchange files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can complete their job without accessing any other folder in your hosting account. Furthermore, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple Internet sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

Our hosting plans will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with only a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to specify what website files and folders each account can connect to. There’s no upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you can create, so you can have as many as you wish at any particular moment. In case you do not want to use a specific FTP account any longer or in case a web designer has done their task and you do not want them to connect to the web content anymore, you can simply remove the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to check all currently existing FTP accounts displayed alphabetically, along with various options, which you can access with one single click of the mouse. You will be able to update the access path and the password, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have exhaustive help tutorials, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any obstacles.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages are pretty powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a large number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to set a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate account for each site that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you’ll be able to view the access path and to change it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your computer, which will save you time. If you have never had a web hosting account previously, you can check our exhaustive tutorial videos, which can be accessed through the same Control Panel section.
