Secure FTP Connection
To keep up with the latest security standards, SiteGround provides a secure FTP solution over SSL on all shared servers.
How to establish an FTP connection over SSL?
If you need a secure FTP connection over SSL, you should use the FTPES protocol (FTP over explicit TLS/SSL). Unlike FTPS (FTP over implicit TLS/SSL), which directly establishes a secure connection, FTPES allows the FTP client to request the secure connection from the FTP server.
