File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most famous method for uploading content to a web hosting account. Using FTP client software that’s installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your hosting server and copy all the web files that you need with several clicks of the mouse. This is done via a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the files in question. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to set up separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you must grant somebody access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only one particular folder and won’t be able to access the rest of your content or any other information, including personal details. Three things are compulsory in order to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

You can set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the Linux shared website hosting that we offer, as we have chosen not to limit this feature. In this way, you can have numerous Internet sites at once or give other persons access to different directories. Once a certain job has been carried out and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to connect to your files anymore, you can update the password associated with the FTP account in question or you can just delete that account with several clicks and stop worrying about somebody using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all website hosting plans, will permit you to see the complete list of the existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes only one single click to manage different options for any of them – to update the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated plan that you have picked during the order process, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to use. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to set up as many accounts as you like through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content as well. All the accounts will be listed alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a given account any longer, you can simply remove it and prevent people who have used it previously from accessing it again. The latter option is particularly useful in case you use the services of a web designer or if an IT specialist departs your company and you do not want them to access the web files anymore. An elaborate Help database that includes instructional video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts if you don’t have past experience.

Any of the 3 Control Panels will give you the ability to set up, to edit or to delete an FTP account in a couple of easy steps and with no more than several clicks of the mouse, so even in case you don’t possess prior experience, you will be able to administer an FTP account with ease.
