SFTP

The Secure File Transfer Protocol is an encrypted protocol to exchange files between two computers, e.g. your own computer and your Asteroid.

Clients

• Cyberduck, a macOS and Windows client.
• FileZilla, a multi-platform client available for Windows, Linux and macOS.
• WinSCP, a Windows-only client.

Tip:

FTP is an outdated protocol that does not use encryption in its standard implementation. While there are implementations such as FTP over SSL (FTPS), we believe that using a more modern protocol is the better choice.

Warning:

Your credentials protect your files. Never share them. Make sure to use SFTP, not FTP. If your SFTP client asks for a port, use 22.
