How to connect to a website in Plesk via FTP

Log in to Plesk.

Go to Domains > example.com > FTP Access to find an FTP user name.

• If the password of this FTP user is unknown, click on the username and set a new password.

Download and install an FTP client.

In this example, we are using FileZilla - a free and reliable FTP client (Download link).

Once FileZilla is downloaded and installed, start it and fill in the fields:

• FTP host. The FTP host name should be a server IP address or example.com, where example.com is a website’s Internet address. The website must be accessible from the Internet.

• FTP username from step 2

• FTP password

  
  
  
  

Click Quickconnect. After a successful connection, website's data will be listed.
