How to connect to sFTP in FileZilla

Last updated on March 31, 2018 · Posted in Snippets · dev process  · ftp  · security

Using sFTP credentials, I could not log into a secure server in FileZilla. Turns out, I needed to change the settings and the host name.

1. Change settings

sftp-highlight-on-filezilla

  1. Open the FileZilla application.
  2. In the top menu bar, click on FileZilla and select Settings.
  3. On the left side of the menu, expand the Connection section and highlight SFTP (simply click it).
  4. Click OK.

I found this info here.

2. Change host name

host-name-for-sftp-on-filezilla
For host name, try using

sftp://ssh.domain.com

instead of domain.com or numbers (i.e. 104.999.246.229)

I found this info in the screenshot here.
