File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents one of the most commonly used ways to upload and download files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in either direction and the software will handle the rest. There are a number of benefits of using FTP, including the ability to restart a download/upload when there’s a problem with the FTP connection or the ability to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other information, which makes it the ideal solution particularly when you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created straight from them, without having to resort to third-party software.

FTP Accounts in Hosting

You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the hosting offered by us, as we’ve decided not to limit this feature. In this way, you can have multiple Internet sites simultaneously or give other people access to multiple directories. Once a given job has been carried out and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to access your website files anymore, you can edit the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just remove that account with a few clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about anyone using it again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all website hosting accounts, will permit you to see the full list of the existing FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes just one mouse click to administer various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a separate FTP account for any of them, since we haven’t set a limit on this service with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. You can do this via the FTP section of our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel where you can also check the full list of all the accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If needed, you will be able to modify the password for a particular FTP account or to modify its access path with a couple of mouse clicks. You can also delete an account with no effort in case you don’t require it anymore – for example, if you’ve hired a developer who’s finished with the site and you don’t want them to connect to your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we’ve shot different video tutorials, that will help you administer your FTP accounts effortlessly in case you have never used a hosting service before.

FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

With a virtual private server from us, you’ll be provided with the opportunity to set up unlimited FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all Virtual Private Server plans, no matter which Control Panel you have picked on the order page – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia. Depending on your requirements, you can set up a separate FTP account for each site or several FTP accounts with access to a certain folder – in case you wish to permit several users to access that folder using their own set of sign-in details. Even if you have never opened a web hosting account previously or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any difficulties setting up, removing or editing any FTP account on the server, since everything’s done via an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and takes only a few clicks.
