One of the most convenient ways to update your website content is to
upload it through FTP. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard
network protocol that allows transferring files between two hosts (for
example, your computer and a Plesk server). Plesk acts as an FTP server,
while users should use some FTP client to access the directories on the
server. Plesk provides all main FTP features:
-
Authorized access to the server. Learn more in the section
Changing FTP Access Credentials. -
Multiple user accounts for collaborative work. Learn more in the
section Adding FTP Accounts. -
Anonymous FTP access: The access without authorization that may be
used, for example, to share software updates. Learn more in the
section Setting Up Anonymous FTP Access.
Note: Information is transferred over FTP unencrypted. We encourage you to
use the secure FTPS protocol (also known as FTP-SSL/TLS). FTPS is
supported by most modern FTP clients. Refer to your FTP client
documentation for instructions on how to enable FTPS.
