CrossFTP and FTP/FTPS Connection

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTPS (also known FTP Secure) is an extension to the commonly used File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that adds support for the Transport Layer Security (TLS).

To Connect to FTP/FTPS in CrossFTP: 

  1. Create a new site in CrossFTP (Sites -> Site Manager -> New Site), and choose the Protocol field as FTP (default port is 21) / FTPS/TLS (default port is 21). After that, fill in the Host filed with your server's host, and Port field with your server's port

  2. Enter your User Name field with user name, and Password field with password information, and press Connect to connect to the FTP Server.
