SFTP is a popular method for securely transferring files over the internet. While you can upload files through your server's panel, you may prefer to use SFTP to transfer files, especially larger ones. This functions similarly to FTP access provided by other hosting services and will require you to install some SFTP software to operate.
Picking an SFTP client
There's a variety of SFTP clients you can install, but here are some that we recommend:
We'll be using WinSCP for this tutorial.
Connecting to your server with SFTP
First, select the server you want to connect to on your panel.
On the sidebar, click settings.
You should be able to find your SFTP details - the server address and your unique username. Your password will be the password you use to login to the games panel, at panel.waterfall.gg.
Press the Launch SFTP button, at the bottom right. It will open the SFTP client that you chose earlier. If the launch SFTP button doesn't work, you can always manually open a connection through the client of your choice. You'd want to set the protocol to SFTP if you do that, and the server/host would be the server address shown on the panel. Certain clients may need you to manually type in
2022as the SFTP port. (If the launch SFTP button worked, a popup like the one below will show up, and you won't need to manually add it.)
For the password, type in the password to your panel login.
Now, you can just drag and drop the files between your computer, and the server.
Once the files are uploaded, they should be visible in the files section of your server on our panel.
