I had a very good experience last time with my problem. Hope I’ll be able to resolve this one as well.
I had a European project with my students and created a very short Web site about its phases. It also includes 4 small clips from my iPhone about development of our wave energy generator.
When I try to download them (was using both Monsta FTP and FileZilla FTP) they are either blocked (“download failed”) or downloaded successfully and then immediately removed from the folder.
So you download the files, and then the files are removed from where exactly? If your own computer deletes the files after downloading them, that’s not something we can help you with.
You can host your video files from 3rd party video hosting services like YouTube (make your video unlisted), Google Drive, Vimeo and Mega.
Then embed it on your website by using the following example code below:
I’m suggesting you to use JW Player because JW Player provides a video hosting, video player, and JW Player has a free plan (Storage 25GB) plus! easy to embed, easy to share, customizable player, even has quality selector and playback speed just like youtube
Note
I’m not forced you to use jw player it’s optional
Sorry for loooooongggg explanation
