File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most popular means for uploading website content to a hosting account. Using an FTP client app that’s pre-installed on your desktop computer or laptop, you can establish a connection to your hosting server and copy all the files that you need with a couple of clicks of the mouse. This is done via a simple-to-work-with graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you’re able to create separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you’d like to provide a 3rd party with access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to access only one particular folder and won’t be able to see the rest of your web content or any other info, such as personal details. Three prerequisites are required in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain, a username and a password.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Hosting
You will be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux cloud hosting offered by us, because we’ve decided not to limit this feature. In this way, you can manage multiple Internet sites at once or provide other persons with access to separate directories. As soon as a particular task has been fulfilled and you would not like that person to be able to connect to your website files anymore, you can update the password associated with the given FTP account or you can simply delete that account with a couple of clicks and quit worrying about anyone using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting accounts, will permit you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts displayed alphabetically. It takes only a click to administer different options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP irrespective of the package that you have picked during the order process, since the FTP access is among the standard features that you will be able to use. All our plans include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you’ll be able to create as many accounts as you wish from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to manage your website content as well. All the accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t require a particular account any longer, you can simply remove it and block individuals who have used it before from accessing it again. The latter functionality is especially handy if you use the services of a web designer or if an IT specialist departs your firm and you don’t want them to connect to the website files any longer. An extensive Help database that comprises how-to video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts in case you do not have any past experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
If you open a VPS servers with us and choose any of the 3 hosting Control Panels that we’re offering – Hepsia, DirectAdmin or cPanel, an FTP server will be installed on your machine, since it’s an integral part of the software package that comes with all virtual servers ordered with a hosting Control Panel. This will permit you to set up as many FTP accounts as you need and to pick the folder that each of them can connect to. If you wish, you can even create several accounts for the very same domain and give a number of persons their very own personal sign-in details to access the web content. Each of the 3 hosting Control Panels will give you the ability to set up, to modify or to remove an FTP account in a few easy steps and with less than a couple of clicks of the mouse, so even if you don’t have any past experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account without any effort.
