FTP is a method of uploading and downloading files from a dedicated server. The server runs FTP software to faciliate this, and you use an FTP client to communicate with the server.
Simply download an FTP client, then enter your server IP, username, and password. You will instantly be connected to your server to transfer files. We recommend using as it's free and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Alternatively, you can use SFTP which works in the same fashion as a standard FTP connection. After setting up your FTP client, connect to your server using port 22, rather than the usual port 21 for FTP. You’ll need to ensure that you have both SSH and FTP access configured on your server.
