Click the Manage button next to your website.
Click the Files & Database tab.
Optionally set the amount of time to permit access.
By default, you will be granted SFTP access for 1 hour. This is a security mechanism to protect against leaked credentials. You can change to 12 hours, 24 hours, or forever.
Click Access Files to view your SFTP credentials.
Once you click Access Files, you will be shown your server, username, password, and port, which you can then copy to your SFTP tool. A counter will be shown if your credentials will expire.
