Custom Server

If the cloud service you are using is not already integrated into Password Depot, you can add it with just a few user-defined details. The storage location properties dialog provides the following fields:

  • Name: Enter a descriptive name for the connection. For new entries, the name is automatically composed from the selected service and the user name.
  • Service: Select a predefined WebDAV service from the list. When you select a service, the Protocol, Address, Port, and Path fields are automatically populated with the corresponding values.
  • Protocol: Choose the protocol for connecting to the server. The following protocols are available:
    • FTP
    • HTTP
    • SFTP (per SSH2)
    • HTTPS
    • FTPS (Implicit SSL/TLS)
    • FTPES (Explicit SSL/TLS)
    • WebDAV
    • WebDAV (SSL/TLS)
    Use the Advanced... button to configure additional options such as private/public keys. This button is only available for the SFTP, FTPS, and FTPES protocols. For more information, see Advanced Options.
  • Address: Enter the server address (URL or IP address of the server, e.g., ftp.myserver.com).
  • Port: Select the port number used for connecting to the server. Available options include Auto (default port for the chosen protocol), 21, 990, or a manually entered value.
  • Path: Specify the path on the server where your data will be stored (e.g., /Password Depot/).
  • User name: Enter the user name required to access the server.
  • Passive: Check this box to use passive mode for the connection. This option is only available for the FTP protocol. For SFTP, FTPS, and FTPES, passive mode is set automatically.
  • Password: Enter the password associated with your user name for the server.

NOTE: When you select the FTP protocol, Password Depot may display a security warning because FTP transmits data unencrypted. Consider using SFTP, FTPS, or FTPES instead.

By filling in these fields, you can configure your own cloud servers, thereby expanding the range of storage locations available in Password Depot's Home section.
