File Manager & SFTP
Using the Web File Manager
The built-in file manager lets you browse, upload, rename, edit, and delete files directly in your browser — no FTP client needed. Access it from the Files tab on your site dashboard.
Editing Files in the Browser
Click any text file to open it in the built-in code editor with syntax highlighting. Useful for quick edits to wp-config.php, .htaccess, or theme files without leaving the dashboard.
Connecting via SFTP
Find your SFTP host, port, username, and password in the site's Settings tab. Use any SFTP client such as FileZilla, Cyberduck, or Transmit. Plain FTP is not supported — SFTP only.
File Permissions
WordPress files are set to 644 and directories to 755 by default. Avoid setting permissions to 777 — it is a significant security risk. Plugins that need write access already have it under the standard setup.
Uploading Large Files
The web file manager supports uploads up to 256 MB. For larger assets or bulk uploads, use SFTP which has no size limit. You can also move files already on the server using WP-CLI or the terminal.
