Important:

  • Each SFTP user account has access only to the associated website and data, and nowhere else!

  • The account owner has an SFTP account, displayed as a "master" account, that has access to all websites via SFTP. Use it with your Dashboard credentials. It is recommended to avoid using and/or sharing this account and instead create a separate account for each website you want to access.
