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.
