FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous means for uploading website content to a web hosting account. With FTP software that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the files that you want with several clicks. This is done via a simple-to-navigate interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up several FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you want to give someone access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a specific folder and will not be able to view the remaining web content or any other information, such as private details. Three things are necessary to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Setting up and administering multiple FTP accounts will be very easy with any of our shared website hosting services. This functionality isn’t restricted, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks accomplished. In case you hire a web designer and they are done with the site, for example, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one single click through the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you will be able to view a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and the directories that they can connect to. Useful functions such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for commonly used FTP software applications are also only a mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When 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 set a limit on this functionality with any of our plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have created, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a specific FTP account or to change its access path with a couple of clicks. You can also remove an account without efforts if you do not need it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a web developer who is finished with the website and you do not want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For your convenience, we have compiled different how-to videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort if you have never used a web hosting package before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

With a virtual private server from us, you’ll get the opportunity to set up unlimited FTP accounts to access your website content. This is valid for all VPS setups, irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you’ve picked during the server order procedure – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel. Based on your necessities, you can create a separate FTP account for each website or several accounts with access to a given folder – in case you’d like to allow different persons to be able to connect to that folder with their own set of sign-in credentials. Even if you’ve never had a web hosting account before or in case you’ve only used a shared one, you will not have any problem setting up, removing or modifying any FTP account on the Virtual Private Server, since everything is done via a time and effort saving web-based interface and takes just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
