FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular means of uploading website files to a web hosting account. With an FTP client application that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with a few clicks of the mouse. You can do this using an easy-to-work-with interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you’d like to provide somebody with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only a particular directory and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are required in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be amazingly easy with each of our Linux shared web hosting services. This feature is not restricted, so using our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. If you hire a web designer and they’re done with the site, for example, you can change the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with only one single click of the mouse via the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and what directories they can access. Useful options such as editing the password or the path and downloading an auto-config file for popular FTP programs are also only a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated services are pretty powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting multiple sites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to put a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate FTP account for each Internet site that you host on our cloud platform. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you’ll be able to check the access path and to update it, if necessary. In addition, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your home PC, which will save you time. If you have never used a hosting account previously, you can check out our in-depth instructional videos, which can be accessed through the same section of the Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

With a virtual private server from our company, you’ll get the option to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS plans, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you’ve chosen during the registration process – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel. Based on your necessities, you can have a separate FTP account for every Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you would like to permit different people to be able to access that folder with their own log-in credentials. Even if you’ve never opened a web hosting account previously or if you have experience only with a shared one, you won’t have any problem creating, removing or editing any FTP account on your server, since everything’s done through a user-friendly GUI and takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
