FTPS

There are 2 ways to connect to Planet Argon servers through FTPS:

Secure FTPS (SFTP)

• Use the same username and login given to you in the initial email.

See VHCS File Uploads for other options as well

Standard FTPS

To allow people to access file on your account using regular FTPS you must first configure it in the VHCS control panel.

Create FTP users in VHCS

• Click on “FTPS Accounts” in the sidebar
• Click “Add FTPS User”
• Add the username/password

Connect from your favorite FTP program

Server Name

• If you have moved your DNS records to Planet Argon, use your domain name as the FTP server
• If you have not pointed your DNS servers to Planet Argon, use the server’s IP address (or server name, such as proton.planetargon.com) as the server name

User Name

Your username is the full

user@yourdomain.com

that you set up in VHCS. So if you signed up an account for example.com, and you created a user named maisy the ftp user name would be

maisy@example.com

Mode

When connecting to this mode, use standard FTP – not SFTP

Path

If you want to add a default path to your ftp program, write the path relative to your home directory. So let’s say you connected to your server via ssh and typed:

mkdir -p apps/example/site

and you wanted your ftp client to connect to the “site” folder directly. Your default path for the ftp program would be apps/example/site (not /apps/example/site or ~/apps/example/site)
