FTP allows you to connect with any FTP client or through any web browser to your Cloud Storage. Most FTP clients require the following settings to connect you to your Cloud Storage:


  • Profile Name (if applicable): This can be anything, for example, GoGrid Cloud Storage
  • Host Name/IP: The host name of your Cloud Storage allotment as it appears in your user interface. It should be your customer number.cloud.storage.gogrid.com, i.e. 16642.cloud.storage.gogrid.com.
  • Host Type (if applicable): "Automatic" or "Unix"
  • Username: Your username taken from the "Cloud Storage" item on the "Passwords" page in your my.gogrid.com portal.
  • Password: Your password taken from the "Cloud Storage" item on the "Passwords" page in your my.gogrid.com portal.
  • Source File (if applicable): The file or directory you would like to transfer.
  • Destination Directory (if applicable): The location of the destination directory of where you want to transfer the data.


Recommended and common FTP clients are SmartFTP (Windows), vsftpd(Linux) or FileZilla (Linux and Windows). Most systems also have a command line FTP client accessible from a command prompt. Just type: 

ftp yourcustomernumber.cloud.storage.gogrid.com

and log in using your user credentials. Typing ftp help will list the available commands.
