# FTP server for uploading sample files
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whenever I ask someone to upload a sample file I prefer the upload is done to my own server. It is reachable both via SFTP ([SSH file transfer protocol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol), preferred as it is encrypted but may be slower) and the old and unencrypted FTP ([File Transfer Protocol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_transfer_protocol), unencrypted only but might result in faster transfers).

Please place the file(s) in the folder named "`upload`". If you're uploading more than file then please create a separate folder for that and name it sensibly, e.g. include your name or the bug number you're referring to. Thanks.

An OpenSource, cross-platform client that can handle both protocols is the excellent [FileZilla](http://filezilla-project.org/).
|
|
|
There are several Open Source SFTP clients for all operating systems out there. Linux and macOS come with the command-line utility "sftp" included. Here are a couple of recommendations for Windows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [FileZilla](http://filezilla-project.org/) — an excellent cross-platform, Open Source client for various protocols including SFTP
|
|
|
* [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/eng/index.php) — a small but powerful Open Source program

**Note: You can only upload to this server, not download from it. Stop trying!**
