FTP/FTPSΒΆ
To connect to an FTP server, you will need:
- A folder name for your local mountpoint; the folder will be created if it does not exist
- The URL of the FTP server
- Port number (default: 21)
- FTP server username and password
- Remote Subfolder, the FTP directory to mount in Nextcloud. Nextcloud defaults
to the root directory. If you specify a subfolder you must leave
off the leading slash. For example,
public_html/images
Your new mountpoint is available to all users by default, and you may restrict access by entering specific users or groups in the Available for field.
Optionally, Nextcloud can use FTPS (FTP over SSL) by checking Secure ftps://. This requires additional configuration with your root certificate if the FTP server uses a self-signed certificate.
Note
The external storage FTP/FTPS needs the allow_url_fopen PHP
setting to be set to 1. When having connection problems make sure that it
is not set to 0 in your php.ini. See PHP Version and Information to learn
how to find the right php.ini file to edit.
See Configuring External Storage (GUI) for additional mount options and information.
FTP uses the password authentication scheme; see External Storage Authentication mechanisms for more information on authentication schemes.
