FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is among the most popular means for exchanging website files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software itself will do the rest. There’re a number of pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the possibility to resume an upload/download in case there is a problem with the connection and the ability to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mails or other info, which makes it the ideal solution particularly when you need to grant a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to use any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
You can set up as many FTP accounts as you like with any of the Linux shared plans that we are offering, since we’ve decided not to limit this feature. In this way, you can run multiple sites simultaneously or grant other individuals access to multiple folders. Once a particular job has been fulfilled and you would not like that person to be able to access your files any longer, you can change the password for the FTP account in question or you can simply delete that account with several clicks of the mouse and quit worrying about anybody using it again. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all shared web hosting plans, will permit you to view the complete list of the existing FTP accounts shown in alphabetical order. It takes only one click of the mouse to administer various 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 Servers
You will be able to access your semi-dedicated server account via FTP whatever the plan that you’ve chosen on the order form, as the FTP access is among the standard features that you’ll be able to make use of. All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you will be able to create as many accounts as you need from the Hepsia Control Panel with which you’ll be able to administer your web content too. All the accounts will be displayed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and in case you don’t need a particular account any longer, you can simply delete it and prevent people who have used it before from connecting to it again. The latter functionality is especially handy if you use the services of a web developer or in case an IT professional retires from the company and you do not want them to connect to the website files any longer. A comprehensive Help database that comprises educational videos will help you administer your FTP accounts in case you don’t have past experience.

Any of the 3 hosting Control Panels will give you the opportunity to set up, to modify or to remove an FTP account in a few easy steps and with no more than a few clicks of the mouse, so even if you do not have any previous experience, you’ll be able to manage an FTP account in a seamless way.
