File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is the most popular means for transmitting web files to a hosting account. With FTP software that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can set up a connection to your website hosting server and copy all of the website files that you need with several clicks of the mouse. You can do this via a simple-to-navigate GUI and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’ll be able to create several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you need to provide a third party with access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a specific folder and will not be able to view the remaining web content or any other information, including private details. Three prerequisites are compulsory to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a username and a password.

FTP Accounts in Web Hosting

You can create as many FTP accounts as you want with any of the web hosting offered by us, since we’ve chosen not to limit this feature. In this way, you can manage multiple sites all at once or provide other people with access to multiple folders. Once a certain task has been done and you don’t want that person to be able to access your web files any longer, you can update the password associated with the particular FTP account or you can simply delete that account with several mouse clicks and stop worrying about anybody connecting to it once more. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting accounts, will allow you to view the full list of the existing FTP accounts listed in alphabetical order. It takes only one click to manage various options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated package that you’ve opted for upon signup, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to make use of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can create as many accounts as you wish via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not require a certain account anymore, you can just delete it and block people who have used it before from accessing it again. This functionality is particularly handy if you use the services of a developer or in case an IT professional leaves your firm and you don’t want them to access the website files any longer. An elaborate Help database that comprises educational video clips will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you don’t possess any previous experience.
