FTP configuration (MGDP2050)

This page describes FTP File Transfer Protocol configuration.

It is specifically designed for MGDP2050, but also serves as a general example of FTP configuration.

FTP client

Install and run any FTP client, such as FileZilla or Fetch].

Each FTP client has its own interface, but all clients use the same configuration information.

Credentials

You will need FTP credentials:

• Host name, in this case htcwebcreative.com
• Username
• Password

Also be aware that your work goes in a subdirectory on the remote server. This is another parameter you need to configure.

Configuration

FTP clients typically provide a "configuration manager" (terminology varies), which allows you to configure multiple connections, for multiple different servers.

The interface will vary from one client to another, but all do the same thing.

Create a new connection in the configuration manager, and enter your credentials.

By storing your credentials in the configuration manager, you can quickly connect to any server you like by picking it from manager.
