# FTP and File Management

We offer file management connectivity via FTP as well as Web FTP. For some of our service packages, we also provide SSH access.

# What is FTP and how does it work?

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring files between computers on a network, such as the internet. Using FTP, you can upload, download, and manage files on your web server. FTP is essential for website maintenance as it allows for easy access to files, their editing, and management.

# How to connect to the server via FTP

To connect to your server via FTP, you will need the following details:

**FTP Server**: Your FTP server address (e.g., [ftp.diversity.cz](https://ftp.diversity.cz) or the server's IP address, e.g., 31.32.23.13)

**Username**: Your FTP username

**Password**: Your FTP password

**Port**: 21, or 22 in case of SFTP

**Step 1**: Download and install an FTP client

There are many FTP clients available. Popular options include FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck. In the following steps, we will use FileZilla and WinSCP as examples.

<Warning>
  Don't forget to select the correct file editor in your FTP client settings. Your editor must support UTF-8 encoding to prevent saving your website with corrupted or missing characters that other encodings do not support.
</Warning>

## FileZilla

**Step 1**: Open the FTP client and enter your login credentials

* Open FileZilla.
* Enter your FTP server address into the **Host** field.
* Enter your FTP username into the **Username** field.
* Enter your FTP password into the **Password** field.
* Leave the Port field empty or enter 21 if it is not set automatically.
* Click **Quickconnect**.

**Step 2**: File transfer

* Once connected, two windows will appear: **Left window**: Files and folders on your local computer. **Right window**: Files and folders on your server.

To upload files, drag them from the left window to the right window. To download files, drag them from the right window to the left window.

## WinSCP

**Step 1**: Open the FTP client and enter your login credentials

* Open WinSCP.
* Click on **New Site**.
* Select **FTP** as the File protocol (port 21).
* Enter your FTP server address into the **Host name** field.
* Enter your FTP username into the **User name** field.
* Enter your FTP password into the **Password** field.
* Click **Login**.

**Step 2**: File transfer

* Once connected, two windows will appear: **Left window**: Files and folders on your local computer. **Right window**: Files and folders on your server.

To upload files, drag them from the left window to the right window. To download files, drag them from the right window to the left window.

## Web FTP

We also provide a web interface for FTP, which allows for file management directly from your web browser without the need to install any additional software.

* Open your web browser and log in to your administration panel.
* Locate the file management tool (usually named "Files" or "File Manager") in the admin panel.
* Using this tool, you can browse your website's file structure, upload new files, download existing files, rename files and folders, delete them, or edit them directly in the browser.
* You will find your website files in the **public\_html** folder. When uploading your website, place it into the **public\_html** folder to continue working.
