Connecting to the EX FTP Server Using FileZilla

This page provides instructions on how to download, install, and connect to the EX FTP Server using the FileZilla FTP client.

 

Overview

The EX FTP Server is a shore-based repository for all current cruise data collected during Okeanos Explorer cruises. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a robust and well-established method for accessing files on a remote server. Accessing files on a FTP server requires an FTP client. This page describes how to connect to the EX FTP Server using the FileZilla FTP client; however, most major FTP clients will be able to access the EX FTP Server.
