An SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) account lets you securely transfer files between your local machine and your web server. SFTP provides data transmission encryption, ensuring your files remain safe during transfer.

Create SFTP account

Through the ClickPress site management dashboard, you can create SFTP quickly and easily. Here is how you can do it:

Step 1: Click on the ‘Tools’ tab.

Step 2: Scroll down and click on the ‘Create’ button.

Step 3: First, create a password. We recommend clicking the Generate button to receive a strong, automatic password. Then click Add.

Step 4: After creating your password, you can view the provided details, such as username, password, port, and IP address. Click on the Download SFTP Software button.

After clicking the Download SFTP Software button, you will be redirected to the WinSCP website. WinSCP is a secure site where you can download the SFTP software.
