FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), represents the most popular method of transferring website content to a web hosting account. Using FTP software that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your hosting server and copy all the files that you need with a few clicks of the mouse. You can do this using an intuitive graphical interface and it is as easy as dragging ‘n’ dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’ll be able to set up separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you must give someone access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only a specific directory and won’t be able to see the rest of your web content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Hosting
Setting up and managing numerous FTP accounts will be quite easy with each of our Linux hosting packages. This service isn’t limited, so using our simple-to-navigate Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need to administer your sites and to get your web-related tasks done. In case you hire a developer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just one mouse click through the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you’ll be able to check a list of all the accounts that you have created and what folders they can connect to. Useful functions such as changing the path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widespread FTP software apps are also just one mouse click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages are rather powerful, which makes them suitable for hosting numerous sites. Speaking of which, we have decided not to restrict the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different FTP account for each website that you host on our cloud platform. All FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated server account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to change it, if needed. In addition, you can set up a new account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-configuration file and installing it on your computer system, which will save you time. If you’ve never opened a web hosting account before, you can watch our exhaustive how-to video clips, which are available in the very same section of the Control Panel.
