When connecting via WebDAV, pay attention to the Address and Path fields, as they are indicated by a single link in the instructions. ![External FTP storage: Connect folder to the Windows server. - 12](https://dx86q6oq7ry0e.cloudfront.net/uploads/media/blog/a43@server-panel.net/2022/06/01/1656467423_1656467344065.png) Note that the speed when working with FTP will be much slower than when working on the server's local disk. We recommend using a storage service to back up your important data.
