FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most famous means for transferring website files between a computer and a server. Using FTP software such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will deal with all the rest. There are several pluses of employing FTP, including the possibility to resume an upload/download in case there’s a problem with the FTP connection and the possibility to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect option particularly when you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created directly from them, without having to resort to any 3rd-party software.
FTP Accounts in Shared Hosting
Each of the shared hosting plans offered by our company will permit you to set up an unlimited number of FTP accounts, so you will be able to administer the content of your websites separately or to provide other persons with access to any Internet site in your web hosting account. If you’ve got a web design software program pre-installed on your PC, you’ll be able to administer numerous websites simultaneously and to keep them up to date effortlessly. If you give the login information to another person for a given task, you will be able to edit the password for that FTP account or to remove it altogether with only a couple of clicks of the mouse and prevent any possibility of unsolicited access to your web content in the future. For the sake of convenience, all FTP accounts that you create will be shown in alphabetical order in the respective section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
FTP Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our packages come with an unlimited FTP account quota, so you can set up as many FTP accounts as you like through the Hepsia Control Panel with which you will be able to administer your website content too. All the FTP accounts will be listed in alphabetical order in the Control Panel and if you don’t need a particular account anymore, you can simply remove it and prevent individuals who have used it before from accessing it again. This functionality is especially useful if you use the services of a designer or if an IT professional exits the firm and you do not want them to connect to the web files any longer.
