FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular way to upload web content to a hosting account. Using an FTP program that is installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can set up a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with a few clicks of the mouse. This is done using a simple-to-work-with GUI and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is that you are able to create different accounts, each with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you’d like to give somebody access, for example – a web designer, they will be able to access only one specific directory and won’t be able to view the remaining web content or any other info, including personal details. Three things are obligatory in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP address, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
You can create as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the Linux web hosting packages that we’re offering, as we’ve chosen not to restrict this functionality. In this way, you can maintain numerous Internet sites simultaneously or grant other people access to separate directories. As soon as a certain job has been completed and you would not like that individual to be able to access your files anymore, you can edit the password for the specific FTP account or you can simply delete the account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and stop worrying about anyone using it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all web hosting packages, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one single click to administer various options for any of them – to edit the access path or the password, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting packages are astonishingly powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting many Internet sites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to set a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a separate FTP account for each website that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account. For each of them, you’ll be able to check the access path and to change it, if needed. In addition, you can set up an account in a client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never used a hosting account previously, you can watch our elaborate how-to videos, which are available in the very same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
None of the Linux VPS web hosting offered by our company has a limit on the maximum number of FTP accounts that you can have at any given time, so you can create an FTP account for each Internet site hosted on the VPS server, regardless of whether it’s under a domain or subdomain. In addition, it does not matter which hosting Control Panel you will pick when you subscribe – DirectAdmin, cPanel or Hepsia, since an FTP server will be set up on your virtual machine at the time of the configuration of any of them. If you want different people to connect to the very same directory with their very own set of log-in credentials, for instance, it’ll take several clicks to set up a different FTP account for each one of them. Deleting an existing account or changing the folder that it can access is just as easy and you will not have any obstacle, even if you have no prior experience in such matters.
