FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular method for sending web content to a hosting account. Using FTP client software that’s installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all of the files that you need with a few clicks of the mouse. You can do this using a simple-to-use graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’re able to set up different accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must give somebody access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only one particular directory and will not be able to see the remaining content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are required in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.

FTP Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to create multiple FTP accounts with only a couple of clicks of the mouse through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and to choose what files and folders each one can access. There isn’t any upper limit on the total number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have as many as you want at any particular time. In case you don’t want to use a certain FTP account any longer or in case a designer has done their task and you do not want them to connect to the website content any longer, you can simply delete the account in question. The Control Panel’s FTP section will allow you to check all currently active FTP accounts shown alphabetically, along with different options, which you can access with one click of the mouse. You’ll be able to change the access path and the password, to download an auto-configuration file, and so on. We also have elaborate help articles, which will help you manage your FTP accounts should you come across any problem.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your sites under a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to create a different FTP account for any of them, since we haven’t put a restriction on this functionality with any of our semi-dedicated plans. You can do this through the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you can also see the full list of all the FTP accounts that you’ve created, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If necessary, you’ll be able to update the password for a specific FTP account or to modify its access path with a few clicks of the mouse. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you do not require it anymore – for example, if you have hired a developer who’s done with the site and you don’t want them to be able to access your website files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have compiled different instructional videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without any effort in case you’ve never used a website hosting plan before.

Any of the three hosting Control Panels will provide you with the chance to set up, to modify or to remove an FTP account in a few simple steps and with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, so even in case you don’t have any prior experience, you will be able to manage an FTP account without effort.
