In order to build a website with WordPress you may need to securely upload files to your website. You can upload files to your Pressable websites via SFTP (Secure Transfer Protocol).
In order to get stared you will need an SFTP client. The two we recommend are:
- Cyberduck ( MacOS and Windows ) — Full Setup Guide
- FileZilla ( Linux, MacOS, and Windows ) — Full Setup Guide
Obtain Your SFTP Credentials
You will find your credentials details in the MyPressable Portal. To start, click the name of the site or the settings icon for which you would like the details on the Sites page.
Next, navigate to the Users tab to find your details. You can click on the “refresh” icon in the SFTP Password section to update the password. Make sure to save this password securely for future use as it is not displayed after initial creation.
Connecting to Your Website Using your client.
We have step-by-step guides for connecting with Cyberduck and FileZilla.
If you’re not using one of these clients, here are the basic settings you’ll need:
- Host: sftp.pressable.com
- Port: 22
- Protocol: SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol
- Logon Type: Normal
- User: your username
- Password: your password
If you’re having trouble with your client or have additional questions contact our support team at help@pressable.com.
