ATTENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can only use the FTP connection to your picdrop account if your picdrop account was registered before June 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For accounts registered after June 2022, please use the upload directly in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find your new login details in your account settings under FTP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Step ist always to create a new login<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Click on Create Your FTP Login<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • At the top, you can use the toggle to switch between the connection types FTPS and SFTP.<\/strong> Most FTP clients use FTPS and Port 21, except for example FileZilla or Lightroom<\/strong> which use SFTP and Port 22.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Setting up your FTP accounts isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      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)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
