FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to transfer files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have 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. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their job without being able to access any other directory in your web hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple websites with web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
You can create as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the shared hosting offered by our company, as we have decided not to limit this functionality. In this way, you can maintain numerous Internet sites at the same time or give other people access to separate directories. As soon as a particular task has been done and you wouldn’t like that individual to be able to access your website files anymore, you can update the password for the given FTP account or you can simply delete that account with several mouse clicks and quit worrying about anybody accessing it once again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared hosting accounts, will allow you to check the full list of the existing FTP accounts displayed in alphabetical order. It takes only one click to manage various options for any of them – to update the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
With a virtual private server from our company, you will have the ability to create an unlimited number of FTP accounts to connect to your web content. This is valid for all virtual server setups, no matter which hosting Control Panel you have picked at signup – cPanel, Hepsia or DirectAdmin. Depending on your needs, you can have a different FTP account for each website or a number of FTP accounts with access to a specific folder – in case you want to permit different persons to access that folder with their very own log-in details. Even if you’ve never opened a website hosting account previously or in case you’ve only had a shared one, you won’t have any problem creating, deleting or editing any FTP account on the VPS server, since everything is done via a time and effort saving graphical interface and takes only a couple of mouse clicks.
