FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular way to send files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP client program that’s installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can establish a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the files that you need with a couple of mouse clicks. You can do this using a user-friendly GUI and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you will be able to create different FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you would like to grant somebody access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to access only one particular directory and won’t be able to view the rest of your content or any other information, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are mandatory to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP address, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Creating and administering numerous FTP accounts will be exceptionally easy with each of our cloud hosting plans. This feature isn’t restricted, so with our easy-to-work-with Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your websites and to get your website-related tasks accomplished. In case you hire a developer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can modify the FTP password or remove the whole FTP account with just one mouse click via the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve set up and the folders that they can connect to. Useful options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for commonly used FTP client programs are also just one mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans are quite powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a lot of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we have chosen not to put a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different FTP account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with each semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to see the access path and to modify it, if needed. Also, you can set up an account in a client of your liking by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your computer, which will save you time. In case you have never used a hosting account before, you can check out our elaborate instructional video clips, which can be accessed through the very same section of the Control Panel.
