In this article, we’ll explain how to enable and access SSH and SFTP credentials for a website created using WPAI. But first, let’s quickly understand what each of these are. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) lets you securely transfer files between your local computer and your WordPress site using a client app like FileZilla. It encrypts your login credentials, themes, plugins, and content during transfers, keeping everything safe from unauthorized access. SSH (Secure Shell) is the underlying protocol that SFTP is built on. While SFTP is great for managing files through a client app, SSH gives you direct terminal access to your site’s server — useful for running WP-CLI commands or performing more advanced site server-level tasks. Note: SFTP and SSH are only available on the Pro and Business plans. Also, these settings are only visible to the team owner . Enabling SFTP Access To enable SFTP and obtain credentials for a site, simply follow the steps below. Go to your WPAI dashboard . Click on the three-dot menu for the site for which you need SFTP credentials. Click on the SSH/SFTP option. Toggle on the Enable SFTP option. Once done, you will be able to view your SFTP credentials for your website. Now you can use them for file transferring using any SFTP client like FileZilla! Enabling SSH Access To enable SSH access, simply follow the steps below. Go to your WPAI dashboard. Click on the three-dot menu for the site for which you need SSH credentials. Click on the SSH/SFTP option. Toggle on the Enable SSH option. When you no longer need access, you can easily turn it off. Just go back to the SFTP/SSH panel and toggle off Enable SFTP or Enable SSH access to the site — whichever applies. That covers everything you need to get started with SFTP and SSH on WPAI.
