Connecting to SFTP

By default, you won't be able to connect with SFTP into your FPS.ms server since the password will be unknown, in this tutorial we're gonna change that.

We will be focusing on connecting to SFTP with Bitvise SSH client and FileZilla in this tutorial, but you can use any other SFTP client as most of them will work the same way.

NOTE

SFTP access to your FPS.ms server is important for efficient and secure file transfers. Whether you're dealing with large files, non zipped files, or simply seeking a superior file transfer method, SFTP provides a fast, secure, and feature-rich solution.
