Access your server files

Druid provides multiple ways to upload and edit all the files of your deployment. You can use the very famous FTP or the more modern HTTP-based WebDAV protocol.

Using SFTP​

FTP is probably the most famous way to interact with remote files. We are using the secure FTP or SFTP variation, which uses SSH to transfer files encrypted between server and client. It is supported by every major FTP client.

You can find your SFTP IP address and port number in the Druid deployment dashboard:

Important: Make sure you select the SFTP-protocol in you FTP client. (Compare to Filezilla example below)

Account Credentials​

The username and password for FTP are the same as in the Druid app. This means the username is your email and the password just you normal password

Discord Registration​

If you used Discord for registration, you must set a password before you can connect via SFTP.

Using WebDAV​

Using WebDAV is similar to using FTP, the username and password authentication is the same.

Generally you can follow the FTP-guide, just make sure you use a client that supports the WebDAV protocol.
