WinSCP is an FTP client software for Windows PC users that allows you to easily access and manage your server files. This is a recommended alternative to FileZilla which is another FTP client.
# Connecting to your Server Directory via FTP with WinSCP
You can connect to your server directory with WinSCP.
- Download and install the WinSCP Client.
- On your server control panel, navigate to Files > SFTP Connect.
- Open WinSCP and fill out the details displayed on the SFTP Server Login page of your server control panel into WinSCP as shown below. Your SFTP password is the same as your control panel password.
- Click Login at the bottom of the box.
If you follow these steps correctly, the login box should disappear and you can now easily transfer files to and from your server.
If you are getting any errors when connecting through WinSCP, this may be because you have provided the wrong FTP details. Double-check that you have copied the details from the FTP Server Login page correctly. You may also reset your panel password by following this guide.
