FTP, which denotes File Transfer Protocol, represents the most popular method of uploading files to a hosting account. With an FTP software application that is installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can connect to your hosting server and copy all of the web files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this using a simple-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is that you can create separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you must give someone access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only one specific folder and won’t be able to see the remaining content or any other information, including personal details. Three must-haves are needed in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain or an IP, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages are incredibly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting a vast number of sites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to put a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can create, so you can have a different account for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you’ll be able to check the access path and to change it, if needed. What’s more, you can set up an account in an FTP client of your choice by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your PC, which will save you time. In case you have never had a hosting account before, you can check out our elaborate instructional videos, which are available in the same section of the Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in VPS
The virtual private server packages that we offer will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts to manage the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which VPS plan you buy and which hosting Control Panel you choose on the order form – Hepsia or cPanel. In any case, you will be granted FTP access to the VPS without the need to install any software, since an FTP server is an essential part of the software bundle that is included in the VPS packages by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you’ve got or even several accounts for a single folder – in case you want different users to be able to access the content inside it with their own personal log-in details. With any of the available Control Panels, setting up, removing or editing an FTP account takes no more than several clicks via an easy-to-work-with interface.
