<h1>FTP/FTPS<a class="headerlink" href="#ftp-ftps" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>To connect to an FTP server, you will need:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>A folder name for your local mountpoint; the folder will be created if it
does not exist</p></li>
<li><p>The URL of the FTP server</p></li>
<li><p>Port number (default: 21)</p></li>
<li><p>FTP server username and password</p></li>
<li><p>Remote Subfolder, the FTP directory to mount in Nextcloud. Nextcloud defaults
to the root directory. If you specify a subfolder you must leave
off the leading slash. For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">public_html/images</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>Your new mountpoint is available to all users by default, and you may restrict
access by entering specific users or groups in the <strong>Available for</strong> field.</p>
<p>Optionally, Nextcloud can use FTPS (FTP over SSL) by checking <strong>Secure ftps://</strong>.
This requires additional configuration with your root certificate if the FTP
server uses a self-signed certificate.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>The external storage <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FTP/FTPS</span></code> needs the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">allow_url_fopen</span></code> PHP
setting to be set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code>. When having connection problems make sure that it
is not set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code> in your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">php.ini</span></code>. See <a class="reference internal" href="../../issues/general_troubleshooting.html#label-phpinfo"><span class="std std-ref">PHP version and information</span></a> to learn
