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
- Your SFTP username (and the address) is shown when you click the SFTP button on your server's Files page.
- Your SFTP password is your panel account password.
- 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.
