Question
How to connect to a website in Plesk via FTP?
Answer
-
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.
-
To create an additional FTP account, click Add an FTP Account. For details, visit this KB article.
-
-
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.
