FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is among the most popular methods for transferring web files between a computer and a web server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will handle all the rest. There are several benefits of employing FTP, including the possibility to resume an upload/download if there is some problem with the FTP connection and the ability to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or any other info, which makes it the very best solution particularly in case you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.

FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

With our in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to set up as many FTP accounts as you like, even different accounts with access to the same directory – if you wish several people to be able to connect to the same content with totally different login credentials. Our semi-dedicated servers do not involve any limitation on the total number of the FTP accounts that you can manage at the same time, so you’ll be able to manage your website files and to modify your Internet sites without effort. If you’d like to limit the access to your content, you can change the folder that an account can connect to or you can remove the account completely with no more than a couple of clicks through the Control Panel. You will be able to see all the accounts and to modify any of them, if needed. For your convenience, you can also download an auto-config file for a number of FTP client programs. What’s more, we have in-depth step-by-step articles and educational video clips, which will help you administer your FTP accounts without hassles.
