This article describes FTP access and directory structure for FORPSI webhosting services on the Linux platform.
FTP accounts are used for uploading, managing, and maintaining website data. Each service has a main FTP account (multihosting) as well as separate accounts for individual websites.
🔐 Managing FTP accounts in the administration
- viewing login credentials (login, server),
- changing the password or resending the password,
- setting FTP access restrictions,
- downloading the FTP log with a list of connections,
- access via the WebFTP interface.
📋 FTP account types and structure
Each FORPSI webhosting (Linux) has two types of FTP access:
- Main FTP account – the login corresponds to the service name, e.g.: f0449392.multi
This account has access to all data of all websites and subdomains within the service.
- Individual website FTP account – the login corresponds to the domain name with the www prefix, e.g.: www.mycompany.com
This FTP account has access only to the data of the specific website.
⚠️ Important notice
FTP space is intended exclusively for running websites and applications.
It cannot be used as personal storage, archive, or backup space.
Excerpt from the webhosting terms and conditions:
„The space is intended for storing files that are part of the website or web application.
Backups, archives, private photo galleries, repositories, and similar data are not part of the web space.“
🧭 Main FTP account for multihosting
Each multihosting has one main FTP account whose login corresponds to the service name, e.g.
f0449392.multi
This account has access to all data of all websites and subdomains within the service.
In the root directory of the FTP account, you will see folders named after the individual websites:
/
├── [mycompany.com]
├── [blog-mycompany.com]
├── [eshop.com]
└── .used_bytes
The system file .used_bytes contains technical information about space usage.
🌍 FTP structure for individual website
Each website within the main FTP account has its own directory containing three subfolders:
/mojefirma.cz/
├── [www]
├── [subdoms]
├── [backups-forpsi]
└── .ftpquota
📁 www
The root directory of the website – this is where you upload all website files (index.php, WordPress installation, etc.).
📁 subdoms
Contains folders for individual subdomains created for the website.
Website files are uploaded directly into the selected subdomain folder, e.g.:
/subdoms/
└── blog/
└── index.php
📁 backups-forpsi
This folder contains automatic backups of the website and its subdomains.
By default, the last three backups are available for download.
Details can be found in the article:
📄 .ftpquota
System file with information about disk capacity and usage.
🔐 Individual website FTP account
Each newly created website also has its own FTP account, with access restricted only to the data of the specific website.
The root of this account corresponds to the path:
/mycompany.com/
This account has access to the www, subdoms, and backups-forpsi directories but cannot see other websites within the multihosting.
💻 SSH access (Linux)
For each individual website, it is also possible to enable SSH access, which allows advanced users to:
- secure connection to the server via an encrypted channel,
- work with commands directly on the server (e.g., file editing, version management, compression, library installation),
- manage the website more efficiently without transferring all files via FTP.
SSH can be enabled in the details of the specific website in the administration panel.
📘 Detailed guide on how to enable and use SSH can be found in the article:
⚠️ Recommendations
- Upload only website files to the www directory, not personal or backup data.
- Do not modify the directory structure or names – the system uses them for website and backup management.
- Regularly change FTP account passwords and secure access to them.
