FTP Manager

What is FTP?     
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a UNIX service that has become an essential feature of the Internet. FTP is a communications protocol that allows for easy, efficient, and accurate transfer of files from computer to computer across a network or, in this case, from an end user’s computer across the Internet to a webserver.

What is FTP Manager?        
FTP manager is a function that allows you to control access to Directory-specific FTP and Anonymous FTP.

What is Directory-specific FTP?   
Directory-specific FTP allows you to give another person FTP access to a specified directory on your website. Using an FTP client, you will be able to upload files to and download files from your computer. You may grant FTP access to a specific directory for each external user. The external user will then have access to all directories that are located below the specified directory.

An FTP user will not have access to any other part of your website or other applications within the WebsiteOS.

What is Anonymous FTP?   
Anonymous FTP allows you to FTP to a specified directory anonymously. When Anonymous FTP is enabled the system creates an /anonftp folder outside of /public. It also creates the username “anonymous”.

All popular FTP clients have an option to login to a server as anonymously and automatically set the username to “anonymous”. The password for this account must be in the form of an email address.

To access the FTP Manager, select "Security" from the main menu, and select "FTP Manager" from the Security menu.
