File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents one of the most widely used means of transferring web files between a computer system and a server. Using FTP software such as FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will deal with the rest. There are several advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the possibility to resume an upload/download in case there’s some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to 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-mails or other information, which makes it the perfect solution when you have to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created directly from them, without the need to resort to any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will permit you to set up multiple FTP accounts with only a few mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel and to specify what web files and folders each one can connect to. There isn’t any upper limit to the maximum number of accounts that you’re allowed to set up, so you can have as many as you wish at any particular moment. If you would not like to use a certain FTP account any longer or in case a designer has completed their task and you don’t want them to access your web content anymore, you can simply remove that account. The Control Panel’s FTP section will permit you to see all currently active FTP accounts listed alphabetically, together with different options, which you can access with one mouse click. You’ll be able to edit the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etcetera. We also have comprehensive help articles, which will help you administer your FTP accounts should you experience any complication.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated plan that you’ve picked upon registration, as the FTP access is among the default features that you’ll be able to take advantage of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to create as many accounts as you wish through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content too. All the accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t need a certain account any longer, you can simply delete it and stop persons who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter functionality is particularly useful if you use the services of a web developer or if an IT professional exits your company and you do not want them to access the web files any longer. An elaborate Help database that comprises instructional video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you do not possess past experience.
