Create or change your password for SSH/SFTP or FTP

This guide shows you how to create or change your SFTP or FTP password. If you're looking to change your SSH password, follow the same steps as for SFTP.

• Step 1 - Open SSH & FTP in the Control Panel
• Step 2 - Click Send
• Step 3 - Click Reset password
• Step 4 - Type your password and save

Tip: We recommend using SFTP over FTP to connect to your web space. SFTP is encrypted and offers much better security.

Step 1 - Open SSH & FTP in the Control Panel

Step 3 - Click Reset password

Step 4 - Type your password and save

1. On the page that opens, type in a password of your choice twice.
