To access your site’s files via SFTP, configure your SFTP client using the following settings:

Mode: SFTP (not regular FTP)
Host: sftp.wphostsites.nz (For Enterprise plans use Host IP from welcome email or Client Area)
Port: 22 (For Enterprise plans use Port number from welcome email or Client Area)
Username: Your SFTP Username (found in your welcome email or Client Area)
Password: Your SFTP Password (found in your welcome email or Client Area)

WPhost supports all major SFTP clients, including but not limited to:
