FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular means of transferring content to a hosting account. With FTP client software that is installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with several mouse clicks. This is done using an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’ll be able to create several accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you have to give somebody access, for example – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one specific folder and will not be able to see the remaining web content or any other information, such as personal details. Three things are needed to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP address, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting

Setting up and administering numerous FTP accounts will be really easy with any of our shared plans. This functionality is not limited, so using our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to administer your websites and to get your web-connected tasks completed. In case you hire a web developer and they are done with the website, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with just one single click of the mouse via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to see a list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created and what directories they can connect to. Handy options such as editing the path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for commonly used FTP software programs are also just one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans are truly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a large number of websites. 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 different FTP account for each Internet site that you host on our cloud platform. 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 server account. For any of them, you will be able to check the access path and to edit it, if necessary. Also, you can set up the account in your preferred FTP client by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your home computer, which will save you time. If you’ve never opened a web hosting account before, you can check out our detailed how-to video clips, which can be accessed through the very same Control Panel section.
