FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transferring website files between a home PC and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll need to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to access just one directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to see any other content in your hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous Internet sites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each one of them, as we haven’t restricted this feature with any of our packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you will be able to modify the password for a certain FTP account or to edit its access path with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can also delete an account with ease if you don’t need it anymore – for instance, if you’ve hired a web developer who’s finished with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your files any longer. For your convenience, we have compiled different instructional video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts effortlessly if you’ve never used a hosting plan before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

With a VPS server from our company, you’ll be provided with the opportunity to create unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your website content. This is valid for all VPS server configurations, irrespective of which Control Panel you’ve chosen at signup – Hepsia or cPanel. Depending on your requirements, you can set up a separate FTP account for every Internet site or a number of accounts with access to a particular folder – in case you’d like to allow a number of individuals to access that folder using their very own set of sign-in credentials. Even if you have never had a website hosting account previously or if you have experience only with a shared one, you will not have any problems creating, deleting or editing any FTP account on your Virtual Private Server, as everything’s done via an easy-to-use web-based interface and takes only a few clicks of the mouse.
