How to Connect to Server via FTP

Servers with the BeAdmin control panel come with a pre-installed FTP server. To start using it for file access, follow these steps:

Step 1: Activate the FTP Server

Go to the Files section and look for the FTP icon:

• 🟢 If the icon is green, FTP is already active and ready to use.
• 🔴 If the icon is red, click on it to activate FTP.

A pop-up window may prompt you to enter an IP address. Only fill in this field if you are sure that your server is operating behind a proxy server. In most cases, you can leave this field blank.

Step 2: Choose FTP Login Credentials

Once FTP is activated, you can connect using either:

• The email and password of your BeAdmin user — this is the default access.
• Or create a new user under the Users section and use their credentials instead.

Step 3: Connect Using Any FTP Client

You can use any FTP client (such as FileZilla, WinSCP, etc.) and connect with the following settings:

• Host: Your server’s IP address or domain name
• Port: 21
• Protocol: FTP (standard FTP, not SFTP)
• Username: BeAdmin user’s email
• Password: BeAdmin user’s password
