Connecting to your server via an FTP client

Server provisioning and management
#1

Connecting to your server with an FTP client is straightforward and simple.

What you will need

  1. An FTP client, such as FileZilla
  2. Your server username; cleaver is created by default as a username during provision
  3. Your sudo password
  4. Your servers public IP

To Connect

Using Filezilla as an example -

  1. Enter your server public IP into host
  2. Enter cleaver as username
  3. Enter you sudo password
  4. Click Quickconnect

:boom: You should now be connected to your server and ready to use your FTP client.

How to connect via FTP

Since I posted the above, Cleaver now offers WebApp / Server users.

To SFTP as a webapp user, it’s a fairly similar process. However, you will need to make sure that you add an SSH key and apply to that user.

Step 1:
In Server > Users, create a new web app user. For example, user name is “newuser”

Step 2:
In Server > SSH Keys, add a SSH key and make sure to add “newuser” to the Usernames text field. This will add the SSH key to the server and assign it to “newuser”.

Step 3:
Setup SFTP with your FTP client.

In the past, we had username and password authentication enabled; however, for security, we require SFTP.
