FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), represents the most popular method for transmitting website files to a web hosting account. With an FTP client app that is pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. This is done using a simple-to-use interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’ll be able to set up different accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you would like to grant somebody access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to a particular folder and won’t be able to view the rest of your web content or any other information, such as personal details. You need three things to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will permit you to create numerous FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to select what web files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit to the total number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you need at any particular time. If you don’t want to use a specific FTP account any longer or in case a designer has completed their job and you don’t want them to access your web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to view all currently active accounts listed in alphabetical order, along with various options, which you can access with a single click of the mouse. You will be able to edit the password and the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc. We also have an in-depth Help library, which can help you manage your FTP accounts should you have to deal with any predicaments.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the plan that you have opted for on the order form, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll get. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can create as many FTP accounts as you like via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content too. All the accounts will be displayed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you don’t need a certain account any longer, you can simply delete it and stop persons who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter option is especially handy if you use the services of a web designer or in case an IT specialist quits the company and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. A comprehensive Help section that comprises how-to video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not possess any previous experience.
