# 🔌SFTP / FTP (Remote File Access)

---
Here at Atomic Host we offer a built in file manager. However we do also offer SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). This allows you to use software on your computer, In our case we recommend using [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/eng/download.php) as it is free to download.

Firstly, install your FTP / SFTP software of choice, we highly recommend using [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/eng/download.php) as it is free to download. You may use a different preferred software instead. 


### Connect to SFTP
Head over to your servers `Settings` Page and click on the `Change Password` Button

After changing your password click on the `Launch SFTP` button >> This should launch WinSCP
