any update on this?

Please default off - if this is added. It should need an opt-in to be enabled.

is there any update on this?

Any update on this?

This is very necessary, I had to go to a different host because I specifically needed unsecured FTP.

I agree. This is a very common feature that is sorely lacking from Cloudways.

It would be nice if you could make an option for a client to be able to disable safety with FTP.
For me at the moment it would be much more practical because I don't use this server for secret or vulnerable data anyways, so safety doesn't concern me for every server equally. But I would need a client to be regulary sending me XML files, but unfortunately they can only do it through unsecured FTP.

I will be forced to leave Cloudways because of this. I'm not asking for unlimited FTP accounts, but at least one. Highly needed. Even if access to upload is outside of the public directory.

Many Internet of Things (IOT) devices are only capable of standard FTP, not SFTP. All I need is the ability for a username/password to put files. I will not be executing the files, only watching the directory and executing a specific script based on the text content.

PLEASE!

Yes please.

This is highly needed.

Wow.. this is the first time when I see this... That's a basic feature of ftp.....and should be available by default...

Security wise... this is very risky as well...

Hope it will be available soon...

Agreed, this would be HUGELY beneficial for auto-updating Wordpress plugins. My first thought would be that FTP users are disabled for security purposes, but at least give us FTPS (secure layer port 21). Thank you. Manually updating Wordpress by a SFTP client is MURDEROUSLY slow.

All SSH/SFTP plugins that attempt to make the process work with SFTP/SSH have not been working on Cloudways, so I'll just save everyone the time and effort to test them.

Same problem

I think you have the ability to add additional ftp accounts per application.

I need this as well. What is the reason to create new application credentials if they all have the same access level?

Hello, it is possible implement in server setting, different user of FTP with a specific folder?

Thank you very much

Any updates on this ? This is really important.. Having the same problems as Fabio Tielen

This is a feature I would like as well I'm quite surprised its not available to be honest
