How to connect to SFTP?
General Information
To browse, edit, or upload files to your Minecraft server using the FTP protocol, you will need a program that supports SFTP.
The two most popular SFTP programs are:
WinSCP – WinSCP website (https://winscp.net/eng/download.php) (recommended)
Filezilla – Filezilla website (https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client)
All necessary login details (host, port, username, password) can be found in the Server Settings tab.
- Go to the
Server Settingstab, where you will find a window with SFTP connection details. - Click the
showbutton next to the password and copy the displayed password. - Press the
CONNECT TO SFTPbutton. - If a prompt appears asking to launch WinSCP, check the box ✅ and click Open WinSCP.
- In the new connection window, paste the password into the appropriate field and then click OK.
- Congratulations! You are connected to the server via SFTP: • On the left side, you see files from your own computer, • On the right side, you see files on the server, • Simply drag files from one side to the other to transfer between your computer and the server.
You can now freely transfer files between IceHost and your computer! ❤
