Generic SFTP Instructions

You can upload and manage files (including deleting, renaming, creating directories, changing permissions etc.) using any program that supports the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and can authenticate using an RSA keypair.

To access your files, you need to connect using SFTP to your application container's full hostname, with your application container name as your user name, and using your private access key for authentication.

For example, if your container name is `mycontainer`, you should connect using the following credentials:

  • User name: mycontainer
  • Host name: mycontainer.my.phpcloud.com
  • Port: 22 (this is the default SFTP port and usually there is no need to specify this)
  • RSA Private Key: the path to your private key file

You should review the File Locations and Permissions section to get better understanding of where files should be deployed to in order for your application to be available over the Web.
