We recommend SSH key authentication as it is the most secure method. This access can be configured to connect either using SSH key authentication or using a password. To connect via SFTP applications like Cyberduck or Filezilla, you can use the site user, which is enabled for SSH and SFTP access. At SpinupWP, we disable the standard FTP ports and only allow this type of access via SFTP. SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol or Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a more secure version of FTP that allows the same level of file management.

FTP applications like Cyberduck and FileZilla allow users to connect to the server using a GUI interface similar to a computer’s file explorer application. Using SFTP to Connect to Your SpinupWP ServersįTP (File Transfer Protocol) is still a popular way to connect to a web server and manage files on the server.
