How do I connect to my server via SFTP?

SFTP lets you transfer files between your local machine and your server using any SFTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or your IDE's built-in SFTP plugin).

To find your SFTP credentials, open the server in the panel and go to the Settings page. The SFTP Details section shows the SFTP address (hostname and port) and your username. Your SFTP password is your Zeros Host account password: the same one you log in to the panel with.

In your SFTP client, create a new connection with the following:
- Protocol: SFTP
- Host: the hostname shown on the Settings page
- Port: the port shown (usually 2022, not 22)
- Username: the username shown on the Settings page
- Password: your panel account password

Connect and you will land in your server's root directory: the same files you see in the File Manager. You can upload, download, rename, and delete files as you normally would.

If the connection is refused, confirm the port is correct and that you are using your panel password. SFTP uses a non-standard port on Zeros Host. If you are behind a corporate firewall that blocks non-standard ports, use the File Manager in the panel browser instead.
