CrossFTP and SFTP Connection

  • SFTP, which stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a separate protocol packaged with SSH that works in a similar way over a secure connection.

To Connect to SFTP in CrossFTP:

  1. Create a new site in CrossFTP (Sites -> Site Manager -> New Site), and choose the Protocol field as SFTP/SSH (default port is 22). After that, fill in the Host filed with your server's host, and Port field with your server's port.
  2. Input your login credentials (either password or private key based).
    • Password based: enter your User Name field with user name, and Password field with password information, and press Connect to connect to the FTP Server.

    • Private key (pem file) based: select your private key file (your site -> Security tab) and (optional) private key passphrase.
