Upload files with SFTP

You can upload files to your Managed WordPress account with SFTP. You can use any FTP client to do this, such as FileZilla. This is useful for managing large file uploads onto your WordPress site, or if you want to make changes to your WordPress site manually - such as installing a custom theme or plugin.

Note: The first part of this guide helps you find your SFTP credentials. If you already know your SFTP hostname, port, username and password you can start with Step 6.

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account.
2. In your My Products page, next to Managed WordPress, click Manage All.
3. For the website you want to use, click the Site URL under the Site Name column header.
   
4. For Basic, Deluxe, Ultimate, and Developer accounts: Find the Settings section and click View next to your SFTP user.

   For Pro Managed WordPress accounts (available in U.S.A. and Canada only): Find the Settings section and click Manage next to SFTP/SSH access.

   Note: If you haven't set up SSH access for your Pro account yet, see Enable SSH .

   
5. Copy your Hostname, Username and Password. You'll need these to log in with your FTP client.
6. If you haven't done this yet, download, install, and launch FileZilla.
7. Complete the following fields:
   

   Field	What to enter...
   Host	Your Hostname
   Username	Your SFTP User Name
   Password	Your SFTP Password
   Port	22

8. Click Quickconnect. After FileZilla connects to your account, you can drag-and-drop to upload your files to the appropriate location.
