# Uploading Files Via SFTP

**SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)** is a network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server. It serves as an alternative to browser-based file managers, offering a safe and more reliable method for accessing, uploading, and downloading large files from your server.

***

We recommend using **FileZilla**, however, you may use a different application.

1. Download and install the appropriate version of [FileZilla client](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1) for your computer.

2. Login to the [game panel](https://gamepanel.fourseasonshosting.com) and select your server.

3. From the left side of the game panel, navigate to the **Settings** page and copy your SFTP credentials.

* *Your SFTP password is the same as your game panel password.*
* *The port is specified by the numbers at the end of the server address.*
