FTP Accounts
What's FTP? What?s an FTP account? When will you need one?
FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method for transferring files between a computer system and a server. Using an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you will need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can fulfill their task without being able to access any other content in the hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous sites with web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.

FTP Accounts in Website Hosting
You can set up as many FTP accounts as you want with each of the
Linux website hosting that we are offering, as we have decided not to restrict this feature. Thus, you can manage numerous Internet sites simultaneously or provide other people with access to multiple directories. As soon as a specific job has been fulfilled and you wouldn’t like that person to be able to access your files any longer, you can change the password for the FTP account or you can simply delete that account with a couple of clicks and quit worrying about anybody using it once more. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all website hosting accounts, will allow you to see the complete list of the active FTP accounts listed alphabetically. It takes just one single mouse click to manage different options for any of them – to modify the access path or the password, to download an auto-config file, etc.

FTP Accounts in VPS Hosting
The
virtual private server plans offered by us will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your Internet sites. This is valid regardless of which Virtual Private Server plan you purchase and which Control Panel you choose during the VPS order procedure – Hepsia and cPanel. In all cases, you’ll acquire FTP access to the server without installing any software, as an FTP server is part of the basic software suite that is included in the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or sub-domain that you have registered or even multiple FTP accounts for one single folder – if you want several individuals to be able to connect to the content in it with their own login credentials. With each of the Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account requires no more than several clicks of the mouse via a user-friendly GUI.
