Summary
Secure File Transfer Protocol (sFTP) provides a reliable and secure means of transferring files between a client and a server. In addition to security and efficiency, sFTP clients offer ease of use, with a simple and intuitive interface that makes it easy for non-technical users to connect to a server and transfer files. sFTP clients often include advanced file management features such as drag-and-drop transfers and remote file editing.
You will need to download one of the following FTP clients to proceed: (based on OS)
Windows - WinSCP (download here)
MacOS - CyberDuck (download here)
