FIle Transfer Protocol (FTP) is one of the preferredways wayyou can do to manage your files on your seedbox. With this, you can download and upload your files and directories, move them around, rename them and much more.

This guide shows you on how to change your password and the general settings to put in a FTP client.

  • Set your password to anything you wish. We recommend using a unique password that you do not use in any of your existing accounts and has the following:
    • At least 12 characters
    • An uppercase letter
    • A lowercase letter
    • At least 1 number
    • At least 1 symbol

  • A popup saying Password successfully changed should appear on the lower right corner of the page, signifying that the password is set successfully.
