Secure FTP

phyburn · February 20th, 2007, 8:04 AM

Hello, I wanted to come ask what the best way to securely login to our FTP accounts on your server. Currently I don't have a ssh account so I can't use sftp. Again secure (login) I don't need the content to be encrypted.

You would have to use SFTP to login in a secure way. Standard FTP sends your data through in plain text across the network. If you get SSH access, you can then use SFTP as well.

Otherwise you can login with a secured connection to Cpanel and transfer your files via the file manager tool in Cpanel.

You use the following URL for a secure login to Cpanel:

https://yourdomain.com:2083
