# SFTP Access

> Securely manage your files via SFTP.

For Managed WordPress and traditional hosting plans, OrbitLab provides SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) access to manage your website files.

## Finding Your Credentials

Your SFTP credentials are automatically generated when your service is provisioned.

1. Go to your **Dashboard**.
2. Select your **Hosting Service**.
3. Look for the **SFTP Credentials** section.
4. You will find your **Host**, **Port** (usually 22), **Username**, and **Password**.

## Connecting with an SFTP Client

You can use any standard SFTP client. Here are some popular options:

* **FileZilla**: Open Site Manager, create a new site, set Protocol to "SFTP", and enter your credentials.
* **WinSCP**: Select "SFTP" as the file protocol and enter your host and login details.
* **Cyberduck**: Click "Open Connection" and select "SFTP".

## File Structure

Typically, your web-accessible files should be placed in the `public_html` or equivalent directory specified in your service settings.

## Security Best Practices

* **Use Key-Based Auth**: Where possible, OrbitLab encourages the use of SSH keys for even greater security.
* **Limit Access**: Only share SFTP credentials with trusted developers.
* **Rotate Passwords**: Change your SFTP password regularly from the dashboard settings.
