JennyPig Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Site URL: http://www.housebuyerspay.com Hello, my marketing person is asking for my FTP info. I don't even know if I have an FTP. This is my first website on squarespace. Can anyone help? I am technical but I am feeling a little dumb. Not ever sure how to look it up. Sigh. Link to comment
tuanphan Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 You need to enable Developer Mode to get this. (read carefully the guide) Home > Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode > Enable > You will see FTP Info. Email me if you have need any help (free, of course.). Answer within 24 hours. Or send to forum message Contact Customer Care - Learn CSS - Buy me a coffee (thank you!) Link to comment

(read carefully the guide) I echo Tuan's comments about reading the guide carefully before enabling Developer Mode. Unless you are a Software Developer who needs this level of access, I strongly advise against enabling it. I say this as a Developer myself. I don't want to concern you unnecessarily, but now that you've turned on Developer Mode, your site's template will no longer receive updates from Squarespace. If you haven't already done so, I recommend you ask your marketing person why they want FTP access to a Squarespace site. It's a very unusual request and unlikely to be necessary.

You can toggle it off, but there are consequences if you’ve made changes to the site whilst it was on. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.

You can do that with custom files in Custom CSS or you can create a file catalog with a page in he unlinked section of your site. . You create one and make a button that says "files" or whatever, and that gives you access to the file manager where you upload with links. You can password the page and all files can be linked and downloaded from there as well, logos pdfs, all kinds of things. Link to comment

Yes, I need access to my squarespace's site root public_html/ folder I need to do to things: 1. add a .toml file to public_html/.well-known/somefilename.toml (need to add a .well-known folder if one does not exist) 2. I need to add/edit a .htaccess file or in some other way enable CORS so people can access the toml file from other sites. https://developers.stellar.org/docs/issuing-assets/publishing-asset-info/ I paid for a year with squarespace and I really like the solution. But now I'm thinking I maybe just should have gone with something like nextjs. Link to comment
paul2009 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Squarespace is a serverless web builder - there's no server to access. This means that when Developer Mode is enabled, although you can use FTP to create folders and then files within these folders, you cannot access a root folder. It sounds as though you need a proper web server where you can have more control. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs. I was invited to join the Circle when it launched in 2016.

I've decided to build and host the website myself. Link to comment
