Droppy with an external FTP/SFTP server.

The FTP Plugin for Droppy – Online file sharing connects your existing Droppy setup to an external FTP server. The FTP connections can be made using standard FTP or using SFTP. This way you can separate your uploads from your application server and store all the uploaded files on another server.

Features:

Connection via FTP or SFTP
Authenticate by username, password or Private key (RSA)
Easy installation
Fast support
Free updates

Why should I store my files on an external server ?

Sometimes your hosting provider doesn’t provide you with enough storage, by connecting Droppy to an external FTP server you are able to store larger files for longer times (This depends on the maximum storage size of your FTP server), keeping the files separated from your application server will also lead to better performance of your application.

Requirements

Latest version of Droppy
Web server
MySql database
External FTP/SFTP server

Note: This plugin will not work together with the Amazon S3 plugin.
