It uses encryption, separate communication channels and hashing to protect your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How come I can\u2019t login to the server?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SFTP relies heavily on user credentials for authentication. If your username or password is incorrect, you won\u2019t be able to login to the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I use SFTP?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SFTP is generally used when transferring large files, multiple files or files not suitable for the media library. It can also be used to transfer your website\u2019s files between folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many files can I transfer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no limit to the amount of files for your website but you do have limited space depending upon what plan you purchased. Check your plans terms and conditions for the amount of space available for your site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I add a robots.txt, ads.txt or other verification files to my site?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Third parties, such as Google, may require you to upload certain files to your site. Upload these files using the SFTP procedure described in this article. Consult the third party\u2019s instructions for directions on where to place the file within your site\u2019s directory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upload a file with SFTP Before you begin&nbsp; Install an SFTP program on your computer.
