FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method for uploading and downloading files between a home computer and a web server. With an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, 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 entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by plenty of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can fulfill their job without accessing any other directory in your web hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites with web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Our web hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous FTP accounts with just several mouse clicks via the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can connect to. There is no upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to create, so you can have as many as you wish at any particular time. In case you would not like to use a specific FTP account any longer or if a designer has done their job and you do not want them to access the web content any longer, you can simply remove that account. The FTP section of the Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to check all currently existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically, together with various options, which you can access with one single click of the mouse. You’ll be able to change the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have detailed help tutorials, which will help you administer your FTP accounts if you come across any difficulty.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a different FTP account for each of them, since we have not put a restriction on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one of them can connect to. If needed, you’ll be able to edit the password for a certain account or to change its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also remove an account with ease if you don’t require it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to connect to your web files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have created different tutorial video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly if you have never used a hosting package before.
