What is an ftp connection and what is it used for?

From definitions, which can be formulated above as follows: in simple language : ftp is used by people who develop websites, blogs. Look, I’ll explain it in more detail, if anyone still doesn’t understand.

For example, on your computer you use the built-in Explorer. What are you doing? look at files, move from folder to folder, move between disks, edit, save various files. Explorer is a tool for viewing, editing, and moving files.

- the same as the disk on your computer (let’s say C:\) only you go directly to your hosting, where you have disk space, which was purchased at one rate or another.

For example, I registered and according to my tariff 2 GB are available
Connecting via Ftp allows you to easily manage files just like you do on your hard drive.

Any action is available: copy the site engine, edit a file, copy any files from your computer to the server, transfer pictures. All this is required for proper operation website or blog. Let's look at which programs to choose and how to configure them to connect with using FTP

How to set up an ftp connection

For correct settings we need will be the registration details of the hosting company, and the Server value are numeric values

Registration data - this is the name and password from your hosting when you registered. Let me remind you that I work with a company. You can see the full article about this company
Server- looks like this (126.41.194.211), we can look at it in personal account hosting

The first program that we will use for FTP connection Total Commander

In the program menu Total Commander select FTP - Connect to FTP server The same actions can be done using hotkeys ( "Ctrl" + "F")

Now enter all the necessary data ( name, password, server)

The FTP connection is ready, you can now connect:

You can see a successful connection by the state of the partitions on your computer

The second program that we will use for FTP connection FileZilla

An ftp connection through the FileZilla program is more suitable for those who are used to Explorer in Windows. The program is free, you can download it from this link

Downloaded, installed ok! Open the program and follow the instructions below

Enter all the necessary data. Input type- choose normal

You can immediately connect to the ftp server by clicking the “Connect” button. After all the settings, your settings are saved and you can connect through File - Site Manager - Name of your connection
As you can see, the Ftp connection is easily set up once, and then you manage all your files on the server. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

Good afternoon!

Thanks to the FTP protocol, you can transfer files and folders on the Internet and local network. At one time (before the advent of torrents) there were thousands of FTP servers on which you could find almost any file.

However, even now FTP protocol is very popular: for example, by connecting to a server, you can upload your website to it; Using FTP you can transfer files of any size to each other (if the connection is broken, the download can be continued from the moment of the “break”, rather than starting over).

In this article I will give several best programs to work with FTP and show you how to connect to them FTP server.

By the way, there is also a special online. sites where you can search for various files on hundreds of FTP servers in Russia and abroad. For example, you can search for rare files on them that cannot be found in other sources...

Total Commander

One of the most universal programs, which helps when working: with a large number of files; when working with archives (unpacking, packing, editing); working with FTP, etc.

In general, more than once or twice in my articles I recommended having this program on PC (as an addition to the standard conductor). Let's look at how to connect to an FTP server in this program.

Important Note! To connect to an FTP server, you need 4 key parameters:

• Server: www.sait.com (for example). Sometimes, the server address is specified as an IP address: 192.168.1.10;
• Port: 21 (most often the default port is 21, but sometimes different from this value);
• Login: Nickname (this parameter is important when anonymous connections are prohibited on the FTP server. In this case, you must be registered or the administrator must provide you with a login and password for access). By the way, each user (i.e. each login) can have their own rights to FTP - one is allowed to upload files and delete them, and the other is only allowed to download them;
• Password: 2123212 (password for access, used in conjunction with the login).

Where and how to enter data to connect to FTP in Total Commander

3) In the window that appears, click the "Add..." button.

1. Connection name: enter any name that will allow you to easily and quickly remember which FTP server you will connect to. This name does not affect anything except your convenience;
2. Server:port - here you need to specify the server address or IP address. For example, 192.158.0.55 or 192.158.0.55:21 (in the latter option the port is also indicated after the IP address, sometimes you cannot connect without it);
3. Account: this is your login or nickname, which is given during registration (if anonymous connection is allowed on the server, then you do not need to enter it);
4. Password: well, no comments here...

After entering the basic parameters, click "OK".

5) You will find yourself in the original window, only now in the list of FTP connections there will be our newly created connection. You need to select it and click the “Connect” button (see screenshot below).

If everything is done correctly, after a moment you will see a list of files and folders that are available on the server. Now you can get started...

Free and convenient FTP client. Many users consider it the best program of its kind. The main advantages of this program, I would include the following:

• intuitive interface, simple and logical to use;
• complete Russification;
• the ability to resume downloading files in case of connection failure;
• works in OS: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and other OS;
• ability to create bookmarks;
• support for dragging files and folders (like in Explorer);
• limiting the file transfer speed (useful if you need to provide other processes with the required speed);
• comparison of directories and much more.

Creating an FTP connection in FileZilla

The required connection data will be no different from what we used to create the connection in Total Commander.

1) After starting the program, click the open site manager button. She's on the left top corner(see screenshot below).

• Host: this is the server address, in my case ftp47.hostia.name;
• Port: you don’t have to specify anything if you use standard port 21, if excellent, please indicate;
• Protocol: FTP data transfer protocol (no comments);
• Encryption: in general, it is advisable to select "Use explicit FTP over TLS if available"(in my case, it was impossible to connect to the server, so the normal connection option was chosen);
• User: your login (no need to specify for anonymous connection);
• Password: used together with the login (for an anonymous connection there is no need to set it).

Actually, after setting the settings, all you have to do is click the “Connect” button. This way your connection will be established, and in addition, the settings will be saved and presented as a bookmark (pay attention to the arrow next to the icon: if you click on it, you will see all the sites for which you have saved connection settings) so that next time you can connect to this address with one click.

Very convenient and powerful FTP client. It has a number of great features, such as:

• restoration of interrupted download;
• creating a list of bookmarks for sites (moreover, this is implemented in such a way that it is simple and convenient to use: in 1 click you can connect to an FTP server);
• ability to work with groups of files;
• the ability to create scripts and process them;
• user-friendly interface makes work simple and easy even for novice users;
• Availability of Connection Wizard - a convenient wizard for creating new connections.

In addition, the program has a Russian interface and works in all popular versions of Windows OS: 7, 8, 10 (32/64 Bits).

A few words about creating a connection to an FTP server in CuteFTP

CuteFTP has a convenient connection wizard: it allows you to easily and quickly create new bookmarks to FTP servers. I recommend using it (screenshot below).

Hello admin, please explain to me what an FTP server is and can I create it myself on my computer?

In short, I have a regular one at home system unit and three laptops, all these machines are connected to the Internet via a router, can I from desktop computer make a real one FTP server, and directly from all laptops download and upload files to it? Just installed on a regular computer HDD 3 TB and it turns out that no one uses it, all relatives prefer laptops that are already running out of disk space.

Hello friends! Our Ro8 wrote a great article for you on this topic, read it.

Firstly, FTP is a protocol for transferring files over the Internet using the client-server principle, and FTP server is a file storage on the Internet, that is - regular computer With installed Windows 7, 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 and several hard drives large volume on which any of your files can be located. This computer has a program installed, for example - FileZilla Server, anyone else can connect to this computer using: command line , Windows Explorer And various programs, we will consider two in our article:FileZilla Client , And Total Commander. After connecting to Using an FTP server, you can upload any files (movies, music, etc.) to it and also download them.

ControlThe FTP server will be run by the administrator who installed the program - FileZilla Server. This is where you can assign different access rights to each user. (opportunity file changes on server): Append (the ability to change files), Read (read only), Write (record), Delete (delete). Naturally, most users do not need to be given Delete rights.

• Note: From almost any computer or laptop (even with just one hard drive) can be done FTP server and connect other computers to it to receive files, and it is not at all necessary that all computers be connected to one router,An FTP server can be created on the Internet and given access to hundreds and thousands of users.

How the work happens

As a software implementation of an FTP server, the article will consider the FileZilla Server program, which will be installed on a machine with Windows Server 2012

Also, the machine from which the connection to the created FTP server will be made is a computer with pre-installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x64)

In order for a machine with Windows 8.1 to be able to connect to the FTP server, it will be installed FileZilla programs Client (one of the ways to connect using this program)

Go to https://filezilla-project.org and download FileZilla Server and FileZilla Client

Downloaded file We run FileZilla Server on a machine with Windows Server 2012, A FileZilla Client file on a Windows 8.1 machine. Both programs are installed the same way. First of all, let's install the FileZilla Server program.

Installing FileZilla Server

After running the downloaded FileZilla Server file on Windows Server 2012, click next

Click Install

Install

FileZilla Server installation process

Installation completed

After installation, a window like this will open in which we enter the local FTP address server and click OK

After entering local address FTP server the main window of the FileZilla Server program will appear

Let's make some settings by selecting Edit-Users

On the General tab, to add a new user, click on the Add button

Enter your username. OK

Next to Password, check the box and enter the password of the added user

Go to the Shared Folders tab. On this tab we will add the folder FTP01 which will be available to the created user Ro8. Click Add

Specify the previously created folder FTP01. OK

Select the added folder and specify access rights for it: - Read (read only), Write (write), Delete (delete), Append (the ability to change files in this folder)

Determining the IP address of a machine running Windows Server 2012 (192.168.1.4)

Installing FileZilla Client

We switch to a machine with Windows 8.1 and install the FileZilla Client program

We accept the license agreement

Installation

Installation completed

We have a network represented in the diagram

Let's connect to the FTP server in various ways.

Connect to the FTP server using the command line

On a machine with Windows 8.1, launch the command line.

Specify the username (Ro8) and enter the password. The password is not displayed when entering

Logged on means that we have logged into the FTP server

Create a folder My_Backup_win8.1 on the FTP server by entering the command mkdir My_Backup_win8.1

Let's look at the list of folders on the FTP server by entering the ls command

As you can see, there is a folder My_Backup_win8.1 on the FTP server

Close the connection to the FTP server by entering the bye command

Connecting to an FTP server using the T program otal Commander

Let's run the file on a machine with Windows 8.1 Total manager Commander. To set up a connection to the FTP server, click on the button shown in the screenshot

Click Add

We specify the connection name (optional), server and port (the server is the IP address of the FTP server, the port is set to 21). We also indicate the username and password. OK

Select the created FTP connection and click Connect

Connection to FTP server established

To disconnect from the FTP server, click Disconnect

Disconnection from FTP server completed

Connecting to an FTP server using the program FileZilla Client

Let's launch the FileZilla Client program

The main program window will open

If you are referring to this kind of articles, then it most likely makes no sense to once again remind you of the essence and purpose of such servers, but for the sake of formality it is worth clarifying that File Transfer Protocol uses port 21 by default and can be used for browsing by both Internet browsers and most file managers which includes Windows Explorer.

Continuing with the obligatory introduction, let me remind you that for normal operation on the local network, you will need to open port 21 in the Firewall of the server computer (obviously the one on which you will configure), and for access from external network it also needs to be forwarded this port on the router. The last reminders are necessary for the happy owners of firewalls and routers. So, if you use these programs and devices, it would be a good idea to read the instructions and complete the setup.

Let's start by making sure that our operating system generally knows how to do this kind of work. To do this, we simply look at the name of the assembly and consider everything above the Home version to be suitable for our needs.

Step one.

Find the “programs and features” item in the control panel and go to the “Turn Windows features on or off” option.

Step two

The menu that opens will offer us a list of components from which we must find and enable “IIS services” and all its subservices. It should turn out like this:

Click OK and wait for Windows to complete the installation.

Step three

Now we need to directly start our server. In the same control panel we find the “Administration” item, and in it “IIS service manager"

In the window that opens, in the left column, open the tree to the “Sites” tab and right-click on this tab. Select “Add FTP site”

Then we set the name of the site and the directory to which the ftp protocol will physically access

Next, the parameters for launching the server are determined and to simplify access, it is worth specifying launch without SSL. Whether to launch it at system startup and whether to bind it to a specific address is at your discretion.

On the next page, check the boxes next to “Anonymous” and “Plain” and click done.

On this moment FTP - the server is ready, but in order for us to use it, we will continue to configure it.

Now let's configure the Windows Firewall

"Control Panel"→ “Windows Firewall”

Here we go to additional parameters.

Then you need to enable 2 rules for incoming connections

FTP server (incoming traffic)

FTP server traffic in passive mode(incoming FTP traffic in passive mode).

For outgoing connections, you need to enable the following rule in the firewall " FTP server traffic ( outgoing traffic FTP)".

Step five

Now you need to create a user to work with the server. Why open the system console? Press the Win+R key combination and enter “mmc” in the field

in the console that opens, press Ctrl+M or the “file” menu - “Add or remove snap-in”. A menu will open in which you need to add “ Local users and groups"

If you did everything correctly, you will get a window that looks like this:

Now we create a group for the user of our FTP server.

Click right click mouse on “Groups” - “Create a new group”

We issue the “create” command and proceed to creating a user.

Now we need to bind our user to the previously created group. To do this, go to the user properties to the “group membership” tab. There we press the “add” and “advanced” - “search” button. Now we add the group that we created a couple of minutes ago.

Step six

We need to specify group permissions for the directory that we specified when creating the server. To do this, open its properties to the “Security” tab and click the “Change” button:

Click the “Add” button and add the group that we created. We provide the group full access by checking the corresponding checkbox at the bottom of the window:

Step seven

Let's go back to the FTP server settings

Go to “authorization rules” FTP "and create a allowing rule, where in Select “Specified roles or user groups” and enter the name of our group. Give this group read and write permissions and click OK.

Now your FTP server is configured and completely ready for use. Don't forget to check your Firewall and router for open ports for the site and you can safely get to work.

Hello friends! Now we will talk about how to access the FTP server through a browser or Windows Explorer. After all, there are cases when you need to use this technology, for example, not on your computer.

Of course, one cannot help but say that working with files using the FTP protocol is a pleasure. This is the case when the Germans say: kvadratish, praktish, gut. You can also recall a similar solution for .

Well, okay, let's not make unnecessary demagoguery, but let's get straight to the point. So, to connect to such a server regular means Windows systems we do the following.

Open your browser and enter an address like this in the address bar:

That is, in in this case we need to substitute the IP address value remote server. For example, it might look like this:

Also, instead of a digital value, you can enter Domain name, if any. In the next step, an authorization window will appear in which you must enter your login and password for access:

If everything is done correctly, then at the next step we find ourselves in root directory FTP servers:

Just like that, it’s easy and simple, we went to it using a browser. But there is another entry option. Let's say a few words about him. The whole point is that you enter into address bar you need the following:

In real life the whole thing looks like this:

The undeniable advantage of this method is the lack of authorization at login, since all the necessary data has already been entered by the user.

Now let's try to do all the above procedures with the standard Windows 10 Explorer. Open it in top line enter a familiar combination with the server IP address:

Hooray! The contents of the remote node open before us:

Great, but now let's try entering the second combination just in case:

I must say that even in this situation no problems arose. By the way, the author personally liked the option of connecting via FTP protocol through Explorer more than using a browser. It’s somehow more familiar to work with files in it.

Well, friends, now you know how you can access an FTP server through a browser or Windows Explorer. I think that in this simple process There shouldn't be any questions. But if anything happens, feel free to knock on the comments to the article.
