You’ll find your new login details in your account settings under FTP.
First Step ist always to create a new login
- Click on Create Your FTP Login
- At the top, you can use the toggle to switch between the connection types FTPS and SFTP. Most FTP clients use FTPS and Port 21, except for example FileZilla or Lightroom which use SFTP and Port 22.
Setting up your FTP accounts isn’t rocket science and in most cases the same procedure. There are differences in the applications though. We compiled a list of the most common FTP clients and provide you with a step by step guide on how to set them up.
One more thing before you start: if your FTP program has problems uploading using Windows, please disable the option to run uploads in .filepart format. (Applies mainly to WinSCP/Putty)
