Explore FeaturesEssential Tools for Remote File Management
Manage files, update website content, and connect to supported remote servers with practical tools built for everyday workflows.
FTP, FTPS & SFTP Connections
Connect to supported remote servers using FTP, FTPS, or SFTP, depending on the server configuration and available product capabilities.
Remote File Management
Perform common file operations, including creating, editing, renaming, moving, and deleting files and folders.
Built-In Text Editor
Edit text files and website code directly within the product workflow without relying on a separate text editor for every small change.
Upload & Download Files
Transfer individual files or entire folders when supported, helping streamline website maintenance and remote file management.
Server Bookmarks
Save server connection details as bookmarks for convenient access to frequently used servers, subject to the product’s available settings.
File & Folder Permissions
Manage file and directory permissions using CHMOD when supported by the server and connection type.
Manage Remote Files With Confidence
Routine website maintenance often comes down to a handful of file operations: fixing a page, swapping an image, tidying a directory, or correcting permissions. An online FTP client keeps those tasks in one place.
- Create and edit files.
- Rename and move files or folders.
- Delete unnecessary files and directories.
- Upload or download folders where supported.
- Review and manage file permissions when available.
Available operations depend on the server, your account permissions, and the connection type.

Smarter Transfers for Everyday Work
Practical transfer tools that keep routine uploads and downloads simple. Actual behavior depends on server support, permissions, and implementation.
File Uploads
Transfer files to supported remote destinations.
Folder Transfers
Upload or download complete folders where supported.
Image Handling
Support image uploads from available device sources and resizing where available.
Connection Recovery
Help manage interrupted connections when supported by the implementation. Recovery is not guaranteed in every situation.
Mode Z Compression
Supported FTP servers may use Mode Z to compress transfer data. Availability depends on the server.
Safer File Replacement
Smart Replace uploads a replacement before attempting to replace the original file. It reduces risk but does not guarantee against corruption.
Reduce the Risk of Incomplete File Updates
Uploading directly over a live file can briefly expose a partially transferred version. A temporary-file workflow keeps the original in place until the replacement has finished uploading.
-
Select the File
Choose the existing remote file that needs updating.
-
Upload a Temporary Copy
Transfer the replacement under a temporary filename.
-
Complete the Transfer
Wait for the replacement upload to finish.
-
Replace the Original
Rename the temporary file when the server and permissions allow it.
Successful replacement depends on server behavior, permissions, and supported rename operations.
Connection Options for Different Workflows
Pick the protocol your server supports and your administrator recommends.
FTP
Connect to compatible FTP servers. Standard FTP does not encrypt data in transit.
FTPS
Use FTP over TLS when supported and properly configured.
SFTP
Connect through SSH File Transfer Protocol when supported.
Move Files Between Devices and Servers
Supported workflows can include the following, depending on your product version and environment:
- Moving files between compatible devices and remote servers.
- Using built-in FTP or web-server functionality when available.
- Accessing shared files over a compatible local network where supported.
- Using iCloud or other device-sharing functionality only if available in your product version.
Platform-specific app capabilities
Some capabilities, such as local device servers, iCloud integration, or mobile-specific features, have been associated with platform-specific app versions.
Web-based version
A browser-based product may not include those capabilities. Confirm what is available in your version before relying on a specific workflow.
