FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for transmitting website files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can set up a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to access any other content in your web hosting account. Also, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple Internet sites with web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux website hosting service that we offer, because we have decided not to limit this service. Thus, you can manage multiple sites simultaneously or grant other persons access to separate directories. As soon as a specific job has been completed and you don’t want that individual to be able to access your files any longer, you can edit the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just delete the account with a few mouse clicks and quit worrying about somebody using it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting plans, will allow you to see the full list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just one single click of the mouse to administer various options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated service are rather powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting an extensive number of websites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to set a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different FTP account for each website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to check the access path and to change it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up an account in a client of your choosing by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your computer, which will save you time. In case you have never opened a web hosting account previously, you can check out our comprehensive instructional video clips, which are available in the same Control Panel section.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
In case you open a VPS servers with our company and pick any of the three Control Panels that we offer – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin, an FTP server will be installed on your VPS, since it’s an integral part of the software pack that comes with all servers ordered with a Control Panel. This will enable you to set up as many FTP accounts as you want and to pick which folder each of them can access. If you want, you can even create multiple FTP accounts for the same domain and give several people their very own sign-in details to access the web content. Any of the three Control Panels will offer you the option to create, to edit or to delete an FTP account in several easy steps and with no more than a few clicks of the mouse, so even if you’ve got no past experience, you’ll be able to administer an FTP account with no effort.
