Connecting with secure FTPS/SFTP

Encrypted SFTP or FTPS Connection Details

Our best practice recommendation is to use an encrypted protocol to establish a secure connection, you can choose either FTPS (Explicit FTP over TLS/SSL) or SFTP (FTP over SSH). You can also run FTP scripts. For IP addresses please see this link

Field	Values	Notes
FTPS Host	ftp.hostedftp.com or yourdomain.hostedftp.com or ftp.yourdomain.com	The Hosted~FTP~ service will connect your FTP client to the nearest location.
Username	Your username OR email address
Password	Your password
Port (FTPS)	21 1200-2000	FTP/FTPS only
FTPS FileZilla settings		Example settings using FileZilla FTP client secure transfer using FTPS. Note: we only support Explicit FTP over TLS (FTPES) We do not support Implicit FTP over TLS
SSL Certification authentication from FTP Clients		Some FTP clients will request that the server’s certificate must be validated for the initial Login interaction. Hosted~FTP~ certificate details as granted by the certificate DigiCert authority for the TLS1.2 protocol with RSA public key algorithm with 2048 bits
Ports (SFTP)	22
SFTP Host	ftp.hostedftp.com or yourdomain.hostedftp.com or ftp.yourdomain.com	The Hosted~FTP~ service will connect your FTP client to the nearest location.
SFTP FileZilla settings		Example settings using FileZilla FTP client secure transfer using SFTP Note: Protocol: SSH File Transfer PKI Support: click here for details on setting up FileZilla for PKI login
SSH “Unknown Host Key” message		The first time you connect to the Hosted~FTP~ site with a username/password with SFTP the “Unknown Host Key” message may appear. This is a normal part of the SSH setup for FileZilla and other SFTP clients/scripts. Hosted~FTP~ is the owner of the host server us1.hostedftp.com:22 and can be trusted. Please select the checkbox “Always trust this host, add this key to the cache” and the FTP client will then authenticate this SSH key for future connections.
Trust on first use (TOFU) The TOFU	(Trust on first use) the security model is employed by SSH. See Here	Refer to these: FileZilla client: links WinSCP client: error message WinSCP: verification in scripting link
