FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most commonly used ways to exchange website files between a computer and a web server. With FTP client software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will take care of the rest. There’re a number of advantages of employing FTP, among them the possibility to resume a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other info, which makes it the perfect solution especially if you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be rather easy with each of our shared plans. This feature is not restricted, so with our user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to, in order to administer your websites and to get your web-related tasks done. In case you hire a web designer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can update the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just one single click of the mouse via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the accounts that you’ve created and what directories they can connect to. Useful options such as editing the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widespread FTP client apps are also just a mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve picked on the order page, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you will get. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you will be able to create as many accounts as you wish via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you will be able to manage your web content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown alphabetically in the Control Panel and in case you do not require a certain account anymore, you can simply remove it and prevent persons who have used it previously from connecting to it again. The latter functionality is especially useful in case you use the services of a web designer or if an IT person exits your firm and you do not want them to connect to the web files anymore. An exhaustive Help library that includes how-to video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you don’t have any prior experience.
