Downloading from Seedbox
There are several ways to download files from your seedbox. This guide will cover the most common methods: FTP, SFTP and HTTPS.
Downloading using FTP
FTP is a simple and common method for downloading files. You'll need an FTP client to connect to your seedbox. The connection details were provided in the email you received when you set up your service. After connecting, you can select the files or folders you want to download and choose where to save them on your local machine.
For a list of recommended FTP clients, see Seedbox_access_via_FTP,_SSH_and_SFTP.
Downloading using SFTP
SFTP is similar to FTP, but it adds an extra layer of security by encrypting the data transferred between your seedbox and your local machine. You can use an SFTP client in much the same way as an FTP client. Connect using the details provided, select the files or folders you want to download, and choose where to save them.
For more options, see Seedbox_access_via_FTP,_SSH_and_SFTP.
For a step-by-step guide on connecting to a server with SFTP using FileZilla, see Filezilla: Connect to server with SFTP.
Downloading via HTTPS
You can also download files directly from your seedbox using HTTPS. This can be done through the file manager in the GUI or by appending 'data/' to the URL of your seedbox. However, this method is speed restricted and not recommended for large downloads.
Remember, the best method for downloading depends on your specific needs and the size of the files you're transferring.
