Chapter 1. Connecting to FTP servers

Table of Contents

The FTP plugin lets you browse directories and edit files on remote servers using FTP, the File Transfer Protocol. Note that FTP is insecure since it sends everything (including passwords) as clear-text over the network. If you can, consider using SFTP, documented in the next section.

To connect to an FTP server, either select Connect to FTP Server from the file system browser's Plugins menu, or use the Open from FTP Server and Save to FTP Server commands in the Plugins>FTP menu.
