Welcome, @Jason_White

Please try again. I just tested both methods and they work correctly with a few simple commands:

```
$ put my_file
< chat from the server about the transfer >
$ ls
< my_file is listed >

```

Usage from FAQ [https://galaxyproject.org/ftp-upload/](https://galaxyproject.org/ftp-upload/)

For explicit FTPS:

```auto
$ lftp -u user@email.edu usegalaxy.org

```

For implicit FTPS:

```auto
$ lftp -u user@email.edu ftps://usegalaxy.org

```

If you cannot get line-command ftp to work, using a client like Filezilla is another choice. How-to is on the same FAQ.

Thanks!
