FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widespread means for transmitting web files between a PC and a server. With FTP software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software itself will take care of all the rest. There are several pluses of using FTP, among them the ability to resume a download/upload in case there’s some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other information, which makes it the best solution if you need to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to use any third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be unbelievably easy with each of our Linux shared web hosting. This service isn’t limited, so using our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you have to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks accomplished. If you hire a web designer and they are done with the website, for example, you can change the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with just one single mouse click from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you will be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up and what folders they can connect to. Useful options such as updating the password or the path and downloading an auto-configuration file for widely used FTP applications are also only a click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, since we haven’t put a limit on this feature with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you will be able to edit the password for a given account or to change its access path with a few clicks. You can also delete an account without effort in case you don’t need it anymore – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who is done with the website and you don’t want them to access your files any longer. For your convenience, we have made different how-to video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you’ve never used a web hosting service before.
