We require that anyone connecting via FTP do so securely.

Your FTP application must be able to connect by FTP over SSL using implicit encryption. This is a requirement to follow PCI compliance. While there are many FTP applications out there to be used, here are instructions that you can follow if you use Filezilla or Dreamweaver.

Filezilla settings

1. Launch Filezilla
2. Go to File and select Site Manager or hit the Site Manager button
3. A window will open and hit the New Site button
4. Name your site
5. Enter ftp.iministries.org in the Host box
6. Select FTP - File Transfer Protocol from the Protocol drop down menu
7. Choose Require Implicit FTP over TLS for encrytion
8. Choose Normal from the Logon Type drop down menu
9. User: Your user name
10. Password: Your password
11. under Transfer Settings choose Passive
12. Click Connect

Note that your username and password is not the account that you created for your website.

If you have followed these steps and have problems connecting, be sure that port 990 is open. This is the port that FTPS uses.

1. Connect using: FTP over SLL/TLS (implicit encryption)
2. FTP Address: ftp.iministries.org
3. Username: Your user name
