FTP Accounts
Learn about FTP accounts and about FTP as a whole - exactly what they are and when you will be needing them.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is the most famous method of transmitting web files to a hosting account. With FTP software that’s pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the files that you want with several mouse clicks. This is done via an easy-to-navigate GUI and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you will be able to create several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you’d like to provide someone with access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a particular folder and will not be able to see the remaining content or any other information, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are necessary in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Each of the
cloud hosting plans that we offer will enable you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your Internet sites independently or to give other persons access to any site in your hosting account. If you have a web design application installed on your home PC, you will be able to manage multiple sites all at once and to keep them updated with no effort. In case you provide the login information to some other individual to do a specific task, you’ll be able to change the password for that FTP account or to remove it entirely with just a couple of clicks of the mouse and avoid any possibility of unauthorized access to your website content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your
semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated server plan that you’ve chosen during the subscription process, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to set up as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your website content too. All the accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a given account any longer, you can just delete it and stop people who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a designer or in case an IT individual retires from your firm and you don’t want them to access the website files any longer. An extensive Help database that contains how-to videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess prior experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The
VPS server packages that we are offering will enable you to set up unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which package you buy and which hosting Control Panel you pick on the order page – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. In all cases, you will receive FTP access to the virtual server without the need to install any software, since an FTP server is part of the basic software stack that comes with the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for every domain or sub-domain that you have registered or even multiple FTP accounts for one single folder – in case you want a number of people to connect to the web content in it with their very own set of login credentials. With any of the Control Panels, creating, deleting or modifying an FTP account takes no more than a couple of mouse clicks via a simple-to-work-with interface.
