Manage files via SSH or SFTP¶
You can use any file manager you find easy to work with. A file manager is software that allows to easily and securely handle files via SFTP, namely:
- Add and edit files on the server
- Manage directories
- Upload images
- Create and unzip archives
Connect to the server via SFTP (Port 22). It’s more secure and gives you more abilities than outdated FTP.

Projects can be found in the following directory: /srv/projects/PROJECT_DIR
