Beginner3 minUpdated:5 October 2026

In brief

  • SFTP connection details are in the SFTP and files tab in the panel.
  • You use your server management panel password to connect.
  • You can use the in-panel file manager for quick edits.

To interact with your service files directly, you can use the file manager in the panel or connect via SFTP using a client like FileZilla, WinSCP or Cyberduck.

Apply to your service

Open the Files tab

Opens SFTP and file details for your selected service in the panel.

  • Opens the SFTP and Files tab in the service details

If you have a Clodo service you can jump straight to the right panel tab. This card does not change anything on your service.

Connecting via SFTP#

1

Get credentials

Go to your service detail page in the panel and open the 'SFTP and files' tab. Your connection address, port, and username are listed there.

2

Enter into your client

Enter these details into your SFTP client. You need to use your server management panel password as the password.

3

File transfer

Once connected, you can quickly upload or download large files to your server.

Panel File Manager#

For minor edits, copying, deleting or handling archives (zip), the web-based file manager is much more practical. You can update your configuration files directly from the browser without installing any programs.
