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.

 

Introduction

  • The online Web FTP / FTP Manager service does not require any special access as long as you have management rights for a hosting account in the Infomaniak Manager and are logged in.
    • 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,
    • transfer files of less than 50 MB between your computer and the server:
      • including by drag-and-drop directly from your computer to the Web FTP window:
      • to go beyond this limit and for more advanced features such as background processing, resuming transfers after a disconnection, and limiting transfer speeds, use an FTP software/client.
