FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular means for transmitting files between a PC and a web server. With FTP software like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will deal with all the rest. There are a number of advantages of using FTP, including the ability to restart a download/upload when there’s some problem with the connection or the option to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or any other information, which makes it the very best option if you need to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to use 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be pretty easy with each of our cloud website hosting plans. This feature isn’t limited, so with our simple-to-use Hepsia 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 website-connected tasks done. In case you hire a web developer and they are done with the website, for instance, you can change the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with only one click of the mouse via the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to see a list of all the accounts that you’ve set up and the directories that they can connect to. Handy options such as changing the access path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for famous FTP applications are also only one click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to create a different FTP account for each of them, since we haven’t set a limit on this functionality with any of our packages. You can accomplish this via the FTP section of our easy-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel where you can also see the complete list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up, along with the folder that each one of them can access. If needed, you will be able to change the password for a certain FTP account or to change its access path with several clicks. You can also remove an account without any effort in case you do not need it any longer – for instance, if you’ve hired a web designer who’s finished with the Internet site and you do not want them to connect to your web files any longer. For the sake of convenience, we have prepared different tutorial videos, that will help you administer your FTP accounts without effort if you have never used a website hosting service previously.
