WinSCP

How to use WinSCP to transfer files to and from your service.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes you already have WinSCP installed.

Find your SFTP details

On your service's console tab, look for the "SFTP Details" card. This shows the Host, Port, and Username you'll need, your password is your panel account password.

Connect using a new site

Open WinSCP, you'll land on the "Login" screen with a "New Site" panel:

  1. Set File protocol to SFTP
  2. Host name: the host shown on your panel
  3. Port number: the port shown on your panel
  4. User name: the username shown on your panel
  5. Password: your panel account password
  6. Click Login

Save it for next time

Click Save before logging in to keep these details as a site you can reopen later, instead of re-entering them each time.

Transfer files

Once connected, your service's files are shown on the right-hand pane, and your computer's files on the left. Drag and drop files between the two panes to upload or download them.

🎉 Done

Any changes you make will be reflected on your service, some changes (like editing a config file) may need a server restart to take effect.
