FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for sending content to a hosting account. Using an FTP software app that’s pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can connect to your hosting server and copy all of the files that you want with a few mouse clicks. This is done via a user-friendly interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you are able to set up different FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must give someone access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a particular folder and won’t be able to view the remaining content or any other information, such as personal details. Three things are needed in order to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting

You can set up as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux cloud web hosting services that we’re offering, as we have chosen not to limit this functionality. Thus, you can maintain numerous websites simultaneously or give other individuals access to different folders. As soon as a particular job has been accomplished and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the specific FTP account or you can simply delete that account with a few clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about anybody accessing it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only one single mouse click to administer different options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t limited this feature with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, together with the folder that each one can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to edit the password for a given FTP account or to change its access path with several clicks. You can also delete an account with ease in case you don’t require it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who is done with the site and you do not want them to be able to access your web files anymore. For the sake of convenience, we have shot a number of how-to video clips, which will help you manage your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you’ve never used a web hosting service before.
