FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most commonly used means for transferring web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your website hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will handle the rest. There are several pluses of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume an upload/download if there is some problem with the FTP connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the best solution particularly if you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the website content that you have created directly from them, without any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Creating and managing multiple FTP accounts will be exceptionally easy with each of our cloud web hosting. This functionality is not limited, so using our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you need to, in order to manage your websites and to get your website-related tasks done. In case you hire a web designer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or delete the whole FTP account with just one single click via the Control Panel. For your convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the FTP accounts that you have created and what directories they can access. Handy options such as updating the access path or the password and downloading an auto-config file for widespread FTP software apps are also only a click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to set up a different FTP account for each one of them, since we have not restricted this service with any of our semi-dedicated server packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also view the complete list of all the accounts that you have created, together with the folder that each one can connect to. If necessary, you’ll be able to change the password for a particular account or to edit its access path with several clicks. You can also remove an account effortlessly if you no longer need it – for example, if you have hired a designer who’s done with the Internet site and you don’t want them to access your web files any longer. For your convenience, we’ve prepared a number of educational videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without efforts if you have never used a website hosting service previously.
