FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is the most famous way to transmit files to a web hosting account. Using an FTP client application that’s installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can connect to your website hosting server and copy all the files that you want with a couple of clicks. This is done using an intuitive GUI and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’re able to create separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you need to provide a third party with access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular folder and will not be able to access the remaining content or any other info, such as private details. You need three prerequisites in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP, a user name and a password.
FTP Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many FTP accounts as you need with each of the cloud web hosting that we are offering, as we have decided not to limit this service. Thus, you can maintain multiple websites at once or give other individuals access to multiple folders. Once a certain job has been completed and you do not want that individual to be able to connect to your web files anymore, you can update the password for the particular FTP account or you can just delete that account with a few clicks and quit worrying about anyone connecting to it once again. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting plans, will permit you to view the full list of the existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes just one click to manage different options for any of them – to edit the password or the access path, to download an auto-configuration file, etc.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the semi-dedicated package that you’ve selected during the signup process, as the FTP access is among the default features that you will get. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can create as many accounts as you want via the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your website content as well. All the FTP accounts will be shown in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you do not require a specific account anymore, you can simply remove it and stop people who have used it before from accessing it again. This functionality is especially handy if you use the services of a web developer or if an IT individual departs the firm and you do not want them to access the website files any longer. A detailed Help section that contains educational videos will help you manage your FTP accounts if you don’t have any previous experience.
FTP Accounts in VPS

If you want, you can even set up several accounts for one and the same domain name and give several users their own login details to access the website content. Each of the three Control Panels will give you the ability to create, to modify or to delete an FTP account in a few easy steps and with less than a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you don’t have past experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account with ease.
