FTP Connection

FTP connection is not required, you may skip it. In Store Manager for Magento FTP is used for images – downloading and uploading images for products, categories and manufacturers. If there is no valid FTP connection specified, you will not be able to view images and upload them to your server.

See an example of properly configured FTP below:

FTP settings:

• Server address – IP address or domain name of FTP server. Do not use any prefixes or suffixes there, just simple name or IP.
• FTP user name/ FTP password – specify login information.
• Base directory – Your store root directory.
• Use passive mode - It’s recommended to enable option.
