Secure Connection

Always use FTPS (FTP over TLS) or SFTP instead of unencrypted FTP. Most modern FTP clients support both protocols.

Security

ProFTPD is configured as follows:

• Chroot: Each FTP user is jailed in their directory (chroot jail)
• TLS: FTPS encryption is enabled by default
• fail2ban: Failed login attempts are automatically blocked
• Passive Ports: Configured port range for passive FTP connections

---

Quota

FTP accounts share the disk quota of the subscription. The available storage space is determined by the hosting package.
