Where do I find or set my SFTP password?

Your SFTP login reuses your panel account, so your SFTP password is the same as your panel password — and you can set it yourself with Set SFTP password behind the SFTP button on your server's Files page. Once you know that, connecting is simple — and there's an even smoother, password-free option if you'd prefer.

How it works

SFTP authenticates with your panel credentials: the username shown behind the SFTP button plus your panel account password. There's nothing extra to remember.

How to find your details

1. Your SFTP username (and the address) is shown when you click the SFTP button on your server's Files page.
2. Your SFTP password is your panel account password.
3. If you've forgotten it or never set one, click Set SFTP password in the same place — this changes your panel password too.

Tip: Prefer not to send your password each time? Add an SSH key under Account → Security in the client area and authenticate with that instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a separate SFTP password? No — it's simply your panel password. You can set or change it with Set SFTP password behind the SFTP button on the Files page.
