# How To Connect Using SFTP
Using FTP, you can easily access and alter your server files quickly. You can use an FTP client such as Filezilla or WinSCP to fulfil this action. Filezilla and WinSCP are programs that allow you to edit your server files as if the files were on your PC.
### Step 1: Installing an FTP Program
Firstly, you need an FTP program to connect with. We recommend Filezilla or WinSCP as they have the best features. WinSCP Download (Windows only): Filezilla Download (Windows, Mac): When downloading make sure you install the Client version, not the server version. Additionally, when installing them, ensure to decline any special offers or sponsored software.
### Step 2: Obtaining your SFTP details
Before you can start using your FTP client, it needs to know where to find your server files. To get your server's FTP details simply follow these steps:
1. Log-in to the game panel area.
2. Select the server you wish to access
3. Navigate to 'System'.
4. Then 'SFTP Settings'
This is what the top bar will look like.
The details given here are what you would use for any FTP Client
### Step 3: Connecting to your SFTP Area
1\) Open FileZilla
2\) Copy and paste the "Connection Address" into the "Host" box.
3\) Copy and paste the "Username" into the "Username" box.
4\) Copy and paste or type your account password into the "Password" box.
5\) **\[Optional]** If the system hasn't already put in the port. Type "2024" into the "Port" box.
6\) Now press "Quickconnect".
7\) Now you're connected to your server!
