SFTPis an FTP (FIle Transfer Protocol) implementation over SSH (Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell) to provide an encrypted connection to transfer files to and from a remote server.
This is implemented on our servers as standard FTP is insecure as it will provide the credentials in clear text over the internet when negotiating a connection.
To access our servers via SFTP, follow these steps:
1. Download SFTP compatible client, recommend WinSCP on PC: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
1A. Recommended MAC OS client: https://cyberduck.io/
2. Ensure WinSCP is using port 22
3. Login using host, username and password provided.
