Installing and using FileZilla (SFTP)

How to use SFTP with the Vyper Hosting gamepanel is covered in this guide. Because SFTP enables faster, bulk file transfers, this may be advantageous. It is not as simple to use as the built-in file manager in the gamepanel, though. This tutorial explains how to set up and install the well-known SFTP client FileZilla. A video can also be found at the bottom of this page.

A secure transfer option for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is called SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). These days, most people use SFTP.
