FTP Credentials
On this page ▾
When you sign in with evoseedbox, you create an account and opt for a Seedbox. This seedbox is a remote server space with its own username and password.
Therefore the FTP credentials are not the same as your Evoseedbox credentials.
Your FTP credentials are available in the client area of your seedbox. Using these credentials, you can access all the applications, connect with your seedbox using FTP clients like Filezilla, and much more.
Your FTP/SFTP Connection Details
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and SFTP (Secure FTP) allow you to transfer files between your seedbox and your local computer. Your FTP credentials are separate from your Evoseedbox account login.
Where to Find Your FTP Credentials
- Log in to the Evoseedbox client area
- Open your seedbox dashboard
- Your FTP hostname, username, and password are displayed in the credentials section
Connection Settings
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SFTP (recommended) or FTP |
| Host | Your seedbox IP address |
| Port | 22 (SFTP) or 21 (FTP) |
| Username | Same as your seedbox app username |
| Password | Same as your seedbox app password |
Which FTP Client to Use
- FileZilla — Free, cross-platform, most popular choice. See FileZilla Speed Guide.
- WinSCP — Windows-only, supports SFTP and SCP
- LFTP — Command-line tool with segmented downloads for maximum speed
Important: Always Use SFTP
SFTP encrypts your connection, protecting your files and credentials during transfer. Standard FTP sends data unencrypted. Always choose SFTP (port 22) over FTP (port 21) unless you have a specific reason not to.
