SFTP is available on all hPanel plans, which have SSH access included (Premium and above hosting packages). Here is how to connect to your hosting account by SFTP:
Step 1 - Preparations
The first thing you will need to do is enable SSH access. It can be done from your SSH Access page in hPanel.
Step 2 - Connecting
You can easily connect to SFTP by following one of the options below:
Option 1 - Direct access
Open FileZilla:
Set the configuration you got from the SSH Access section:
Host: FTP IP from SSH Access section (for example, sftp://185.185.185.185)
User: FTP/SSH Username
Port: 65002
Click on Quickconnect - and you will be connected to FTP server 😊
Option 2 - Site manager
Unlike Direct access, with Site Manager, you are able to save your previous connection details, as well as change the encryption type.
Open Site Manager in FileZilla:
Click New Site:
Select SFTP connection:
Set the configuration you got from SSH Access section:
Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol
Host: FTP IP from FTP Accounts section (for example, 185.185.185.185)
Port: 65002
Logon type: Normal
User: FTP/SSH Username
Click on Connect - and you will be connected to the server 😊
That’s it! Now you know how to connect to your account via SFTP.
