SECURE FILE TRANSFER (SFTP & SSH ACCESS)

SFTP ACCESS

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) allows you to securely upload and download files using tools like FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck.

Example use cases:

Typical SFTP connection details:

SSH provides command-line access to your hosting server. This is useful for developers who need advanced control.

Example SSH usage:

• Manage files using terminal commands
• Run database or system-level tasks

Example SSH command:

ssh username@your-server-ip
