Quickly access the server (Web FTP)
Update 06/22/2026
This guide explains how to use the Web FTP file manager, which allows you to easily and quickly manage the content of your Web Hosting.

- Therefore, you do not need to have an FTP account and its password; the password for your Infomaniak account is sufficient.
- This allows you to:
- create files,
- navigate through directories,
- manage existing files (copy, rename, move, delete, unzip, etc.),
- edit and view text, php, and html files of less than 1 MB,
