Using FTP profiles

Introduction

PowerArchiver has FTP capabilities built-in. They are mainly designed for use in PowerArchiver Backup (.pbs) scripts, but you can also use the feature to upload any open archive to your FTP server through „FTP Archive“ in the „File> Send“ menu, or even through the convenient shell extensions (option might be disabled by default, check „Options> Configuration> Shell Extensions“ to enable it). Nevertheless, every option starts the same FTP Quick Connect screen where you can select an FTP profile that you wish to use, or create a new one. There is also an fully featured Secure FTP Client Window for Toolbox license users.

How to use FTP in PowerArchiver:

FTP Client

From PowerArchiver 2009, there is an proper Secure FTP client in PowerArchiver. You can use it to download and upload files from FTP/Secure FTP servers and it also supports FTP Profiles. (Toolbox version only).

FTP Protocols supported

PowerArchiver supports: FTP/SFTP/FTP+ SSL and FTP +SSL/TSL. PowerArchiver supports FIPS-140.2 mode for SSL FTP connections.

FTP Profiles

All relevant information about FTP sites is stored in FTP Profiles. PowerArchiver stores all the information conveniently as a profile, so you can use it again without re-entering the FTP site information. You can find more info below. (Professional version only)

Creating & Editing an FTP Profile

You can create new profile through FTP Quick Connect or by using „Configuration> FTP Profiles“. Simply click on „New Profile“ to go into the FTP Profile Manager.

If you want to edit an existing profile, simply select the profile and click „Edit Profile“.

File Information

File information appears in the FTP Quick Connect window and it is relevant to your current FTP upload.

Aditional Information

FTP Profiles are stored using 256-bit AES encryption. This makes your FTP login data much more secure than plain text, but still not completely secure.
