File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most popular way to transfer web content to a web hosting account. Using FTP client software that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can set up a connection to your hosting server and copy all of the website files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. This is done via an easy-to-use interface and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the files in question. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you will be able to create several accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you must give somebody access, for instance – a web designer, they will be able to connect only to one particular directory and won’t be able to see the rest of your content or any other information, including personal details. Three prerequisites are necessary to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Web Hosting
You will be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the Linux web hosting service offered by our company, as we have chosen not to restrict this service. In this way, you can maintain numerous websites simultaneously or provide other persons with access to multiple folders. As soon as a given job has been carried out and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to connect to your website files any longer, you can change the password for the specific FTP account or you can simply delete the account with several mouse clicks and quit worrying about someone connecting to it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting accounts, will allow you to check the full list of the active FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes only a click to manage different options for any of them – to modify the password or the access path, to download an auto-config file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you’ve selected during the registration process, as the FTP access is among the default features that you will get. All our packages include an unlimited FTP account allowance, so you can set up as many FTP accounts as you want from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content as well. All the accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not require a particular account any longer, you can simply remove it and prevent individuals who have used it before from connecting to it again. The latter functionality is especially handy in case you use the services of a designer or if an IT professional retires from the company and you don’t want them to connect to the web files anymore. A comprehensive Help library that includes educational video clips will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t possess any previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS Servers

If you want, you can even create separate accounts for the exact same domain and give several users their own personal login details to access the website content. Any of the three hosting Control Panels will offer you the chance to set up, to edit or to delete an FTP account in several simple steps and with less than a couple of clicks, so even if you don’t have prior experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account without any hassles.
