FTP (File Transfer Protocol), represents one of the most famous means of transmitting website files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can connect to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will take care of the rest. There are a number of benefits of using File Transfer Protocol, among them the option to restart an upload/download if there is some problem with the connection or the option to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other info, which makes it the best option particularly if you have to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you have created straight from them, without the need to make use of third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
You can create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the hosting that we are offering, because we have decided not to limit this service. Thus, you can have multiple websites at once or provide other individuals with access to separate folders. As soon as a given job has been completed and you do not want that person to be able to access your website files any longer, you can change the password for the FTP account or you can just remove that account with a few mouse clicks and quit worrying about anyone accessing it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared packages, will permit you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts shown alphabetically. It takes just one mouse click to manage various options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a separate FTP account for each one of them, since we have not restricted this service with any of our semi-dedicated packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up, along with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you will be able to edit the password for a certain FTP account or to change its access path with several clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account without effort in case you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you have hired a web developer who’s done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to access your files anymore. For your convenience, we have made different tutorial videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts with no effort in case you have never used a hosting plan previously.
