FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous way to upload files to a web hosting account. Using FTP client software that’s installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can connect to your hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with a couple of clicks. This is done via an easy-to-navigate interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you’re able to create different accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you must grant somebody access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to access only a particular folder and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other info, including personal details. Three prerequisites are compulsory in order to be able to make an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
Creating and administering multiple FTP accounts will be astonishingly easy with any of our website hosting. This feature isn’t restricted, so using our simple-to-navigate Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you have to, in order to administer your sites and to get your web-connected tasks done. If you hire a web developer and they’re done with the website, for example, you can update the FTP password or delete the entire FTP account with just a click from the Control Panel. For the sake of convenience, you will be able to see a list of all the FTP accounts that you have set up and what folders they can access. Useful functions such as changing the path or the password and downloading an auto-configuration file for widespread FTP clients are also just one click away.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers are amazingly powerful, which makes them perfect for hosting an enormous number of websites. Speaking of which, we’ve chosen not to put a restriction on the number of FTP accounts that you can set up, so you can have a different account for each website that you host on our platform. All FTP accounts will be listed alphabetically in the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each semi-dedicated account. For each of them, you’ll be able to see the access path and to edit it, if necessary. What’s more, you can set up the account in an FTP client of your desire by downloading an auto-config file and running it on your computer system, which will save you time. In case you’ve never had a hosting account before, you can check out our detailed tutorial videos, which are available in the same section of the Control Panel.
