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
Port: 22
Username: Your SFTP Username (found in your welcome email or Client Area)
Password: Your SFTP Password (found in your welcome email or Client Area)
