FTP over SSL

How do I use FTP over SSL (FTPS)?

To use FTP over SSL you need to have a FTP client that supports FTP
over SSL (FTPS). Filezilla for Windows and Cyberduck for Mac OS X
support this and have been tested to work. Below directions will be for
both programs and other programs will have similar options.



Filezilla:
  1. Go to File --> Site Manager
  2. Add a new FTP bookmark OR change a current one
  3. In the "Servertype" dropdown menu select "FTPES - FTP over explicit TLS/SSL"
     
  4. Fill out the rest of the info as normal for address and login name.
  5. Connect.
    It may give a window describing the certificate. You can accept this
    without issue. If you want it to stop showing that window, check the
    "Always trust Certificate".
If the above does not work, please let us know as the server may not be setup for FTP over SSL.


Cyberduck (Mac OS X):
 
  1. Go to File --> Open Connection
  2. Select "FTP-SSL (FTP over TLS/SSL)" in the protocol popup menu
  3. Enter the login an server address as normal
  4. Connect.
    It may give a window describing the certificate. You can accept this
    without issue. If you want it to stop showing that window, check the
    "Add to keychain"

    If the above does not work, please let us know as the server may not be setup for FTP over SSL.
