[3 Grey Star Level]

What are the settings to put into an FTP client if one wants to connect via SSH or SFTP?

Answer #1

To connect through ssh open a terminal and type:
ssh username@host
(will ask for password)

For general sftp use:
host: your domain
Port: 22
(use can use your cpanel user name and pass)

you need to make sure you’ve turned on ssh access in cpanel first, it’s off by default

Thanks Netvip3r!

In addition to what he said, if you need an SSH client for windows, you can use PuTTY. You can download it at the following URL:
