# Connecting to SFTP

By default, you won't be able to connect with SFTP into your FPS.ms server since the password will be unknown, in this tutorial we're gonna change that.

We will be focusing on connecting to SFTP with [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/) in this tutorial, but you can use any other SFTP client as most of them will work the same way.

!!! info "SFTP access to your FPS.ms server is important for efficient and secure file transfers. Whether you're dealing with large files, non zipped files, or simply seeking a superior file transfer method, SFTP provides a fast, secure, and feature-rich solution."

## Connecting with FileZilla

1. Change your FPS.ms password. You can find instructions on how to do that [here](https://fps.ms/docs/getting-started/setting-a-password.md).
2. Open your browser and go to [https://panel.fps.ms](https://panel.fps.ms).
3. Select your server and browse to the "Settings" tab.
5. Copy the Username shown in "SFTP Details".
6. Open FileZilla Client.
7. Enter your Node IP (e.g. `mango.fps.ms`) into `Host`.
8. Set the port to `2022`.
9. Enter the username you copied earlier into `Username`.
10. Enter your account password into `Password`.
11. Click on **Quick Connect** and enjoy!
