CoreX Hosting

Connect with SFTP

How do I connect to my server with FileZilla or WinSCP?

Use the SFTP details on the Settings tab: host, port 2022, the SFTP username, and your CoreX account password.

Before you start: FileZilla or WinSCP, and a CoreX password (Google accounts set one under Security).

Step by step

  1. Open the server's Settings tab and copy the SFTP host and username (it looks like youremail.serverid).
  2. In FileZilla: File > Site Manager > New site. Protocol: SFTP. Host: the SFTP host. Port: 2022.
  3. Logon type: Normal. User: the SFTP username. Password: your CoreX account password.
  4. Click Connect and accept the host key the first time.
  5. Your server files appear on the right; drag files between your PC and the server.
  6. Sub-users use their own CoreX email in the username and their own password.

Check it worked: FileZilla lists the server files.

Why it happens: SFTP is the fastest way to move big files.
