FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most widely used methods for sending web files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software will take care of all the rest. There’re a number of advantages of employing FTP, including the possibility to restart an upload/download if there’s some problem with the FTP connection and the ability to create different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other information, which makes it the best option if you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you have created straight from them, without the need to resort to third-party software.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
You’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like with each of the website hosting that we offer, since we have decided not to limit this functionality. Thus, you can maintain multiple websites at once or provide other persons with access to different directories. As soon as a particular task has been accomplished and you do not want that individual to be able to access your website files any longer, you can edit the password for the particular FTP account or you can just remove that account with a couple of mouse clicks and quit worrying about someone connecting to it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting packages, will permit you to view the full list of the active FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes just one click of the mouse to administer various options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers are exceptionally powerful, which makes them ideal for hosting a huge number of Internet sites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided 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 Internet site that you host on our servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you will be able to check the access path and to modify it, if necessary. In addition, you can set up the account in a client of your desire by downloading an auto-config file and installing it on your PC, which will save you time. If you have never opened a web hosting account previously, you can watch our in-depth how-to videos, which are available in the exact same Control Panel section.
