FTP Clients
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is required to upload and download content from our shared web hosting services.
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.
