FTP connection secure and multi user

In order to ensure safety on Altervista’s sites and shoot down the spam we’ve arranged a few changes on our FTP (File Transfer Protocol) connection system.

From now you can upload or modify the contents via FTP only from the same country of your registration. For example if you have opened the site from UK will be able to use FTP only from UK territory.

Of course, in the control panel of AlterVista (Tools -> FTP), you can disable this restriction at any time, or add other nations among those allowed.

FTP secure connection

In addition, you can now use encrypted connections (TLS) and create additional FTP users to share access with other people. For each user pyu can choose whether to give full access to your web space or only a sub-directory.

More control, more security, more freedom.
