FTP
Host, port, and the FTP password are still in a bookmark and a message to the intern. Protocol drifted from FTP to SFTP on the server, but the sheet still says port 21.
Hypervault stores server, port, credentials, and protocol in an encrypted EU vault, with permissions for IT and the operators who must drop files — not a shared login doc.
Why store FTP in a digital vault
Plain FTP is still written down as the method
The server moved to SFTP. Protocol on the vault item (FTP/SFTP/FTPS) stops a cleartext client connecting.
Directory path is 'ask Johan'
Drops land in the wrong folder. Directory path on the item is what a night-shift operator needs.
The password is the same as the website
Reuse across systems. Unique credentials in the vault, with last rotated, make that visible.
Port 21 is assumed
Custom ports fail silently. Host, port, and username together are the actual connection recipe.
Who uses this template
IT and infrastructure
Record host, protocol, port, and credentials per server instead of a tribal bookmark.
Operations staff who drop files
Open the vault item for path and login rather than pinging the last person who connected.
MSPs managing client file servers
Keep per-customer FTP/SFTP logins in an EU vault with a named owner.
Fields in this template
Keep every record complete and easy to find. Existing fields stay as they are; extras are added only when a vault item would otherwise be incomplete.
- Server address
- Port
- Username
- Password
- Protocol (FTP/SFTP/FTPS)
- Directory path
- Notes
- Owner/team
- Last rotated
