# 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).
An OpenSource, cross-platform client that can handle both protocols is the excellent [FileZilla](http://filezilla-project.org/).
**Note: You can only upload to this server, not download from it. Stop trying!**
## Login via SFTP

* Port: 2222
* Protocol: "SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol"
* Logon type: normal
* User: `upload`
* Password: `only`
