Using a IP address instead of a hostname for the sub-path (FTP)

Last updated: April 16th 2026 · Status: Validated · Article ID: 3761589

💻 Environment/Context

  • FTP
  • Sub-path
  • IP address
  • Endpoint
  • Live mode

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • Is it possible to have this FTP path eu-ftp.scoreplay.io/testsubpath in numeric form, like 13.37.139.194?
  • User asked whether the FTP endpoint could be provided as a numeric IP address instead, including the sub-path.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • The FTP hostname can be replaced with a numeric IP address. The IP address substitutes only the server URL; the rest of the configuration like the sub-path/subfolder remains exactly the same.
    • Example: the two are identical
      • http://eu-ftp.scoreplay.io/testsubpath
      • 13.37.139.194/testsubpath

 

🥚 Cause

  • Sub-paths cannot be converted to an IP address because paths are not network identifiers — they identify a folder on the server, not a network endpoint. To upload to a sub-path using the numeric IP, simply append the path as usual:
