FTP Accounts
Learn about FTP accounts as well as about FTP as a whole - what they are and when you will require them.
FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most famous method for transmitting web content to a hosting account. Using FTP software that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can make a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this via an intuitive interface and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up several FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must give someone access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular directory and won’t be able to see the remaining content or any other information, including personal details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Hosting
Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be really easy with each of our

This feature is not restricted, so with our easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to create as many accounts as you have to, in order to manage your sites and to get your website-related tasks done. In case you hire a web developer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with just one single click from the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have created and what directories they can access.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to access your
semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you have picked during the order process, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to take advantage of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you like from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your web content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a particular account anymore, you can simply delete it and stop people who have used it previously from accessing it again. This functionality is especially handy in case you use the services of a designer or if an IT specialist departs your company and you don’t want them to connect to the website files any longer. An elaborate Help section that contains instructional videos will help you administer your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any previous experience.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the
Linux VPS web hosting packages that we are offering includes a limitation on the number of FTP accounts that you can manage at any given time, so you can set up a separate account for any website hosted on the Virtual Private Server, no matter if it’s under a domain or sub-domain. In addition, it doesn’t matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll select when you join – DirectAdmin, Hepsia or cPanel, as an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. In case you want several persons to establish a connection to the same folder with their very own set of login details, for instance, it’ll take several mouse clicks to create a different FTP account for each of them. Removing an active account or changing the directory that it can access is just as simple and you will not need to deal with any impediment, even if you lack prior experience in such matters.
