How do I enable FTP or SFTP?

Follow

FTP is NOT recommended as a migration tool. If you have more than 50GB data total to transfer, consider using Egnyte's Migration App or some other third-party tool designed to handle larger data migrations.

While you're signed in as an Admin, navigate to the Configuration tab of Settings.

Choose Applications from the left side and scroll down to the FTP section.

Click to Enable FTP and choose the types of users that will be allowed to utilize the feature (Admins or Admins & Power Users).
