FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is one of the most widespread means for uploading and downloading web files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software itself will do the rest. There’re a number of advantages of using FTP, including the option to resume a download/upload if there’s some problem with the connection and the ability to have different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other info, which makes it the best option in case you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design applications such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the websites that you have created directly from them, without the need to make use of any third-party software.

FTP Accounts in VPS Servers
The VPS server plans offered by our company will allow you to create unlimited FTP accounts to administer the content of your sites. This is valid regardless of which plan you order and which hosting Control Panel you choose during the subscription procedure – cPanel or Hepsia. In any case, you’ll have FTP access to the Virtual Private Server without having to install any kind of software, since an FTP server is an integral part of the software suite which comes with the VPS plans by default. You can create one FTP account for each domain or subdomain that you own or even separate accounts for a single directory – in case you want several individuals to be able to connect to the website content in it with their very own personal log-in details. With any of the offered Control Panels, creating, removing or editing an FTP account requires no more than several clicks through a user-friendly web-based interface.
