Quick access to the server (Web FTP)

This guide explains how to use the file manager Web FTP which allows you to easily and quickly manage the content of your Web Hosting.

 

Preamble

  • The online service Web FTP / FTP Manager allows you to…
    • … create files.
    • … navigate through directories.
    • … transfer files of less than 48 Mo* between your computer and the server:
      • to go beyond this limit and for background work possibilities, resume transfers after disconnection, limit bandwidth, etc. use an FTP software/client like Filezilla or CyberDuck!
    • … manipulate existing files (copy, rename, move, delete, …).
    • … edit and view text, php and html files of less than 1 Mo.
    • … compress and decompress zip files.
  • With Web FTP it does not require any special access as long as you have management rights on a hosting present in the Infomaniak Manager.

To quickly access the site's server via FTP or SSH:

  1. Click here to access the management of your hosting on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the hosting concerned:
  3. Click on FTP / SSH in the left sidebar.
  4. Click on the Web FTP or SSH console buttons available to you:

 

Sending multiple files

It is not possible to upload folders due to the technology used which does not allow it (use an FTP software/client for this). Multiple file selection is however possible, which allows sending a large number of files at once in a previously created folder. Otherwise, you can consider uploading a zipped folder (.zip) and extracting this archive once on the server, from the same WebFTP tool.
