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). This method is more secure than standard methods of FTP. But, like FTP, it’s a method for transfer files from your computer to your web server.
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 for which you would like the details for. Next, click on FTP/Users to find your details.
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: sftp1.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, reach out!
