FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is among the most widely used ways to transmit files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will deal with all the rest. There are several benefits of using File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to resume an upload/download when there’s a problem with the connection and the possibility to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other info, which makes it the very best solution particularly when you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you’ve created directly from them, without any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be pretty easy with each of our Linux shared hosting packages. This feature isn’t limited, so using our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-connected tasks accomplished. In case you hire a web designer and they are done with the site, for instance, you can modify the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one mouse click from the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you have created and what folders they can access. Useful options such as updating the password or the path and downloading an auto-config file for widely used FTP client applications are also only a click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the package that you have opted for on the order page, since the FTP access is one of the standard features that you will be able to take advantage of. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your web content too. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and if you don’t need a specific account any longer, you can simply remove it and stop individuals who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter option is especially useful in case you use the services of a web designer or if an IT individual quits the company and you don’t want them to connect to the web files anymore. An exhaustive Help repository that comprises educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you do not possess prior experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

None of the Linux VPS web hosting packages that we are offering has any cap on the total number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create an account for each site hosted on your VPS, no matter if it is under a domain or subdomain. What’s more, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will select when you join – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on the VPS at the time of the installation of any of them. If you want different users to set up a connection to the very same directory using their very own log-in credentials, for example, it will take a few clicks of the mouse to set up a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an existing account or changing the directory that it can connect to is just as easy and you will not run into any complication, even if you don’t have previous experience in such matters.
