FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most commonly used methods of exchanging website files between a PC and a web server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will take care of all the rest. There’re several pluses of employing FTP, including the ability to resume a download/upload when there’s a problem with the connection or the option to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other information, which makes it the ideal option when you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you’ve created straight from them, without having to resort to any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Each of the cloud hosting packages that we’re offering will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your sites independently or to provide other persons with access to any site in your website hosting account. In case you have a web design app installed on your home computer, you will be able to manage multiple websites simultaneously and to keep them updated without any effort. In case you provide the login details to another person to perform a particular task, you’ll be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to remove it completely with only a couple of mouse clicks and avoid any risk of unsolicited access to your website content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you set up will be shown alphabetically in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, as we haven’t limited this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this through the FTP section of our intuitive Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you will be able to update the password for a specific account or to update its access path with a few mouse clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly in case you don’t require it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a web designer who’s done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to be able to connect to your files any longer. For convenience’s sake, we’ve compiled a number of instructional video clips, that will help you manage your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a hosting service previously.
