FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most popular means of transmitting website files between a computer and a web server. Using FTP client software such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software itself will handle the rest. There are several pros of using File Transfer Protocol, including the possibility to restart an upload/download when there is a problem with the FTP connection or the ability to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the best option when you need to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you’ve created directly from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Each of the shared web hosting packages that we’re offering will enable you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you’ll be able to administer the content of your Internet sites separately or to give other persons access to any Internet site in your website hosting account. If you’ve got a web design program pre-installed on your home computer, you’ll be able to administer multiple Internet sites simultaneously and to keep them updated without any efforts. In case you give the login credentials to another individual for a given task, you will be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to delete it completely with just a couple of clicks and prevent any possibility of unsolicited access to your content from then on. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be listed in alphabetical order in the corresponding section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you have picked during the registration process, as the FTP access is among the default features that you will get. All our plans come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can set up as many FTP accounts as you need through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content too. All the accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a given account any longer, you can just delete it and prevent people who have used it previously from connecting to it again. This option is especially handy in case you use the services of a developer or if an IT expert quits your company and you don’t want them to connect to the web files any longer. An in-depth Help database that comprises instructional videos will help you administer your FTP accounts if you have no past experience.
