Creating an SFTP login

Give access to the files of a website.

With SFTP you copy files to and from your website, using a program such as FileZilla or WinSCP. You create one login per person.

Steps

  1. Go to Websites and open the website.
  2. Go to Files and tasks › Files.
  3. Under New login, enter a login name, for example jan.bakker.
  4. Optionally, under For whom (optional), enter who the login is for.
  5. Optionally, paste one or more SSH keys under SSH key(s) (optional). Without a key, the panel creates a password.
  6. Click Create login with access to this website.
  7. Copy the password. You see it only once.

Connecting

The server and the port are shown at the top of Files. Choose the SFTP protocol. You see one folder per website; the website itself is in htdocs.

Good to know

  • A login can have access to several websites. On another website, use Access to this website or No access to this website.
  • Delete removes the login for all your websites.
