You can upload files to your Managed WordPress account with SFTP. This is useful for uploading large files to your WordPress site or when you need to install a custom theme or plugin manually.
Required: You’ll need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) app to connect and upload content via SFTP (Secure FTP). There are many third-party FTP apps available; we recommend FileZilla.
- Go to your SOLVEFORCE product page.
- On your My Products page, next to Managed WordPress, select Manage All.
- For the site you want to use, select Settings from the
menu. - Under Production Site, find SSH/SFTP login and then select Change.
- Copy the Hostname for use in your FTP app, and then select Create New Login.
- Select Create New Login again. Note: This will delete your current SFTP username and password.
- Copy the new Username and Password for use in your FTP app, and then select Close.
- In your FTP app, fill in the Host, Username, Password, and Port fields. If you’re using FileZilla, select Quickconnect:
- You’ll receive an Unknown host key message. Verify the Host is your domain and then select OK.
- After your FTP app connects to your account, you can drag-and-drop to upload your files.
