The transmission is encrypted, with AES, Blowfish, 3DES and DES cryptographic protocols available. The SSH protocol is supported in both version 1 and 2. The program is easy to use, and at the same time has a lot of useful features, e.g. for people uploading files to a web server via SSH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"mybox-1062585063\" class=\"mybox-content mybox-entity-placement\"><div class=\"early-access-banner-inpost\">\r\n  <div class=\"banner-left-inpost\">\r\n    <div class=\"icon-box-inpost\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/square-info-icon.svg\" alt=\"Info\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"text-box-inpost\">\r\n      <span class=\"label-inpost\"><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Early access<\/span><\/span>\r\n      <h4><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Still need help?<\/span><\/h4>\r\n      <p><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Contact our customer service team.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"banner-right-inpost\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.mybox.com\/helpdesk2\/v\/list\/\" class=\"banner-button-inpost\"><span class=\"translation-block translation-block-banner-text\">Message us<\/span><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"translation-block translation-block-merged\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/winscp.net\/eng\/download.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download WinSCP<\/a> from the manufacturer&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong> After turning on WinSCP, go to the Session tab.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WinSCP-login-nocfg.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WinSCP-login-nocfg.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WinSCP-login-nocfg-300x202.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WinSCP-login-nocfg-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"translation-block translation-block-merged\">\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hostname \u2013 enter the host from the System Information tab from the the mybox panel (the tab is on the right)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Port \u2013 (optional) enter 21<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Username \u2013 enter the details of our FTP account previously created in the mybox panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Password \u2013 leave blank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File protocol \u2013 select FTP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to save data to the FTP server, select the Save button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.<\/strong> In order to connect to the FTP account, click the Login button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[23,25],"manual_kb_tag":[415,416,417,418,409,410,411,412,413,414],"class_list":["post-1131","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-ftp","manualknowledgebasecat-hosting","manual_kb_tag-ftp-client","manual_kb_tag-secure-ftp-client","manual_kb_tag-blowfish-encryption","manual_kb_tag-aes-encryption","manual_kb_tag-winscp","manual_kb_tag-secure-file-transfer","manual_kb_tag-sftp","manual_kb_tag-ftps","manual_kb_tag-scp-protocol","manual_kb_tag-encrypted-file-transfer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/1131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/1131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3900,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/1131\/revisions\/3900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=1131"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=1131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
