FTP Clients
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is required to upload and download content from our shared web hosting services.
Plain FTP does not encrypt usernames and passwords before sending them. This is a security risk. As of March 2013, SupraNet requires encrypted FTP connections on our shared webhosting servers for greater security.
Most FTP software has an option to connect via FTPS (a.k.a. FTP-ES, FTP-SSL, or FTP Secure). Instructions on how to connect via FTPS in several common FTP applications can be found below.
WinSCP
WinSCP is a free FTP program for Windows. It can be downloaded here.
- Host name: your website's name, such as www.yourdomain.com
- Port number: 21
- username: your username
- password: your password
- Protocol: FTP, set the option to TLS Explicit encryption
- Your client may give a warning. If so, choose Yes
