Use the FTP or FTPS protocol to deploy your license file. To access the file system of your Webapp, set deployment credentials and copy your FTP hostname. These credentials and the FTP hostname deploy your application files. Both the credentials and FTP hostnames are needed for each webapp you want to update.
