put.io supports read-only access to your storage via FTP and WebDAV protocols on top of the web-based interface and the API. Here is how you can set them up:

FTP 

Instruct your FTP client to use ftp.put.io as the server address and use your put.io username and password as credentials. We support FTP over TLS/SSL for extra security, so make sure you enable your client to use that when connecting.

Due to the nature of the FTP protocol, FTP connections are always made to our servers in the Netherlands and all data will also be routed through there. This might make the connection a little bit slower than normal web-based downloads. So, when possible, use WebDAV.


WebDAV

Instruct your WebDAV client to use webdav.put.io using the HTTPS protocol (note, this won't work in a browser) and use your put.io username and password as credentials.

Our WebDAV endpoint does use your selected proxy and will give you much better speeds. However, that mechanism uses HTTP Redirect which might not be supported by some WebDAV clients (for example, Transmit on macOS had problems with it).

We recommend the Cyberduck client for Windows and macOS. 

If you are on Linux, you can use davix command-line client.



​If you have 2FA enabled, you'll need to use an app-specific password for FTP and WebDAV connections.

Click here to create one. Don't forget to save the password somewhere secure after it's generated, as it will be shown to you only once.

In general, if you feel uneasy about entering your account password into any 3rd party service for an FTP or WebDAV connection, we encourage you to use app-specific passwords. ✌️
