SFTP NEEDS A TOTAL REWORK

What is SFTP?

SFTP, Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a network protocol used to transfer files between two machines securely. You may want to use SFTP when uploading/downloading/viewing large files on your Minecraft server. The WinSCP SFTP client will be used in this tutorial as an example.

How do I connect to my server using SFTP?

To connect to your server using SFTP, you will first need to know the connection details. These can be found in the settings tab of the control panel for the server you want to access. The connection details will include the SFTP hostname, username, and password.

To use these credentials, open WinSCP and click “New Session” in the top left corner. In the “File protocol” field, select “SFTP”. In the “Port Number” field, enter “22”. Then, enter the hostname, username, and password from the control panel in the corresponding fields. Finally, click “Login” to establish the connection.
