FTP
Plain FTP and FTP over TLS. It works, and it is the least capable destination on the list — use SFTP when the server offers it.
What you need #
- Host, port (21), username and password.
Add it as a storage target #
- Storage → Add → FTP.
- Enter the details and Test.
Test on the target's row proves the credentials; a target that fails shows the provider's own message until it is fixed. From then on it can be a job's destination, a cloud-to-cloud source, a cloud drive, or an archive.

Things to know #
Integrity. FTP reports no content hash, so Caryvane verifies uploads by size. Where the server supports the XCRC/XMD5 extensions they are used.
Passive mode is used throughout; a server behind NAT must advertise a reachable address.
