6.10. FTP access to storage

Notes:

  • Data for connecting via FTP is generated automatically when creating a storage.
  • You can use either plain FTP without encryption or explicit FTPS to connect.
  • FTP access cannot be disabled.

To connect to the storage via FTP, use the data from the tab "FTP access":

  • "Host" — server address.
  • "Login" — Username.
  • "FTP URL" — link in the format ftp://login@host:port/, which contains all connection data, except for the password. Can be used to quickly connect with FTP client, for example FileZilla or WinSCP.

    FTP URL usage:

    • Click on the arrow icon. The browser opens the link in your system’s default handler. For example, an FTP client WinSCP, installed NOT from the Microsoft Store, may register itself as an FTP URL handler on the system. As a result, after clicking on the link, the FTP client is automatically launched with the filled connection data and all that remains is to enter the password.
    • Copy link. The copied link can be used to quickly connect using FTP client — usually the client recognizes the link and automatically arranges the data from it in the required fields, after which all that remains is to enter the password. There is such an opportunity in FileZilla and WinSCP.
  • "Password" — view and change the user’s password.
  • "File manager" — open vault filemanager.

The connection is made through a standard port 21.
