File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is one of the most widespread means for transmitting website files between a PC and a server. Using FTP software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software will take care of all the rest. There are several pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to resume a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection and the ability to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other info, which makes it the best solution when you have to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the sites that you have created straight from them, without having to resort to any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you wish with any of the Linux hosting that we are offering, since we’ve chosen not to limit this functionality. In this way, you can have multiple websites at once or provide other individuals with access to multiple directories. Once a given task has been done and you do not want that person to be able to access your web files anymore, you can modify the password for the FTP account in question or you can just remove that account with a few clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about anyone connecting to it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with all website hosting packages, will allow you to check the complete list of the existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically. It takes just one click to manage various options for any of them – to change the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server plan that you’ve chosen during the registration process, as the FTP access is one of the default features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content as well. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not require a given account any longer, you can just delete it and stop people who have used it previously from accessing it again. This option is particularly handy in case you use the services of a developer or if an IT specialist departs the firm and you don’t want them to connect to the web files any longer. An in-depth Help database that contains how-to videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any past experience.
