FTP to WordpressSubmitted by abergen on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 3:17pm.If my wordpress server has a public IP of 69.16.150.242 and the jumpbox it lives on has an internal ip of 192.168.95.51, will ftp only be accepted by the 69.16.150.242 address (if my firewall permitts port 22 to that address)? Question 2: I see nothing in the settings of the wordpress server regarding FTP. Does Wordpress accept FTP connections by default? |

FTP to Wordpress
Port 22 is for SSH/SCP/SFTP which is the only option we really provide on the JumpBox since it is the secure alternative to FTP. If you enable shell access and port 22 on your firewall is redirected to port 22 on the JumpBox, SFTP based file transfer is possible.
Depending on what files you are trying to add or edit, the permissions might annoy you since by default you can only access the JumpBox as the admin user, who can only edit some files over SFTP. It is possible for you to set a root password and then SFTP as root, but that is not really a safe practice so I advise against it.
As for true FTP, on a registered JumpBox you could install an FTP server if you really wanted. But that will be left as an exercise to the reader.
