At night when everybody is asleep FTPGetter on our servers carries out tasks that would take hours to complete. What people say about FTPGetter: FTPGetter saves us lots of time. HTTP is not as robust as FTP file transfers. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) allows you to download a file while using FTP, you can copy-paste files from the server or computers.

FTP is used for server location on a browser while HTTP is used to browse a website. Therefore, it is possible to establish connection via secure ssh tunnel not only to ftp server but also to POP3 and SMTP servers. FTP is used to transfer files between different computers on a network. Thus, it is possible to work with common ftp servers via secure ssh tunnel not being afraid that your data can be captured or changed by intruders. Now in profile connection settings set ftp server address - 127.0.0.1, port 3121 and save the profile.Īs soon as FTPGetter connects to port 3121 of interface 127.0.0.1 PuTTY will redirect this connection via tunnel to your_host:21.

After authorization (login and password entry) is performed and ssh connection to the server is established PuTTY will redirect all connections with 127.0.0.1:3121 to your_host:21 via secure ssh tunnel. When you start the session PuTTY will establish connection to the server your_host by 22 port. Now you should set redirection of the port from your computer to the remote host port - port 3121 of the interface 127.0.01 will be redirected to the 21 port of the server. You should set remote host address and the port, ssh service is started on (22 on default). All files are uploaded by the secure HTTPS protocol. Without using any 3rd party applications, you can upload files up to your account’s bundle (see here for limits) on any device that has web browser access. Let's start PuTTY and create a new session: The simplest method of uploading files is using HostedFTP’s web browser interface. Using programs like PuTTY you can create SSH tunnel between your computer and server. As a rule at Linux/Unix/BSD hosts both services work on default.

To create a SSH tunnel it is necessary that the remote host had a ssh service started besides ftp service. Therefore you can connect a common ftp server via secure SSH tunnel between server and your computer. One of TCP/IP protocol features is a possibility to tunnel one connection through another.
