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.
