FTP on the Go

FTP on the Go is a full fledged FTP program that works from your iPhone or iPad. It allows you to download files, upload files, edit files and do almost anything you could do from a desktop FTP program.

Here’s how to use FTP on the Go.

Step 1: Enter Your Login Information

When you open FTP on the Go, the first screen you see is the login screen. Type in your login information.

Once logged in, you’ll see a screen with all your files and folders on it.

Step 2: Downloading Files

Once downloaded, you can then edit the files, or upload them to different directories or websites on your server(s). To download a file, navigate to the exact folder you want to download from by clicking on the folder.

Once you’re in the specific folder, click on the file you want to download. A checkmark will appear next to that file. Then click the down arrow in a circle to download the file.

Step 3: Editing Files

To edit a file, first navigate to your “Saved Files” folder.

Select the file you want to edit, then click “Edit” in the upper right.

The HTML edit screen will appear. Here you can edit the HTML of the page, just as you would in any other HTML editor.

When you’re finished, click “Save” in the upper right.

Step 4: Editing Files

After editing a file, you’ll need to upload it for changes to take effect. You also may just want to upload photos or videos from your iPhone to your server. Here’s how.

To upload a file that’s in your “Saved Files,” such as the file we just edit, first highlight the file, then click the up arrow.

To upload a video or picture, first navigate to the folder you want to upload it to in your “FTP” view. Then click the “FTP Folder Commands” button in the lower right.

Then select “Upload Picture / Video.”

Select whether to upload from your camera or from your library.

Select your picture either in the library or by taking a new picture. Then name your file and resize it before uploading.

It’s that easy! You now know how to download files from your server to your iPhone, how to edit those files and how to upload your saved changes. You’ve also learned how to upload your own videos or pictures from your iPhone to your FTP server.
