Using SFTP in FileZilla with cPanel

Please note - this method is no longer supported on shared servers. This thread remains for reference purposes only. GlowHost recommends using FTPs instead.


1. Open up FileZilla and click on File -> Site Manager
2. Click on the "New". Set up your FTP connection as usual.

Account Name: Whatever you want to call it to identify the Account
Host: ftp.yourdomain.com ("yourdomain.com is your actual domain)
User: your cPanel username
Password: Your cPanel Password

3. Next, choose the connection type "SFTP using SSH2" from the FTP connection drop-down list.

4. Click on "Save" to save the settings.
