FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transmitting web files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can complete their job without being able to see any other content in the web hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build multiple sites with web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

Setting up and managing multiple FTP accounts will be exceptionally easy with any of our Linux web hosting packages. This service isn’t restricted, so using our time and effort saving Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to set up as many accounts as you need to administer your sites and to get your website-related tasks completed. If you hire a web developer and they’re done with the site, for instance, you can edit the FTP password or remove the entire FTP account with just one mouse click from the Control Panel. For convenience’s sake, you’ll be able to view a list of all the accounts that you have created and what directories they can access. Handy options such as updating the password or the path and downloading an auto-configuration file for popular FTP client apps are also only one mouse click away.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages are incredibly powerful, which makes them excellent for hosting numerous Internet sites. Speaking of which, we’ve decided not to set a limit on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a separate FTP account for each Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated account. For any of them, you will be able to view the access path and to modify it, if necessary. Also, you can set up an account in a client of your preference by downloading an auto-configuration file and running it on your PC, which will save you time. In case you have never had a hosting account previously, you can watch our comprehensive tutorial videos, which are available in the very same section of the Control Panel.
