Aruba Cloud provides each account (AWI-12345) with an FTP storage space for each active data center. The service is activated by the user. The first 50 GB of space are free. The user can increase the capacity of the FTP space by purchasing more sets of 10 GB.
The FTP Service consists in a remote disk space, accessible by the user using any FTP client, which allows you to export and import virtual disks and .iso images to and from our Cloud Computing service.
