    SSH access is only available for the domain user.

      Putty for Windows comes with a SFTP client and is free. When using FileZilla for SFTP, make sure you limit it to one connection at a time or you may find yourself locked out of your server for a while.

      I have completely left windows behind (thank god) and I can honestly say my production has greatly improved. I use 'scp' from the command line for almost all of my file transfers. There are some other things that I do but they are more technical and also more prone to causing issue so I will leave them for your own discovery.

      These solutions do not require SSL since they operate over SSH, which is a built in operating system tool. You just have to enable shell access for the account, and if you don't want your client to be able to just click on something to get shell access, turn off that feature in their WHM package.

        Just for the record, there is a neat & free Mac-oriented FTP client called Cyberduck which supports SFTP. Transmit is quite good, but it's paid-for software.

          Fugu is a decent SFTP frontend for OS X too.

            I've been using the Lite version of Core FTP (free). It supports SFTP.

            I was using FileZilla, but it's been slower than (insert colorful metaphor here) since they released Version 3, which is when I made the switch.

              v3 of FileZilla was horrible ... I'm still using the last version of 2.1.3 (something like that).

                Anyone using Midnight Commander for this or I'm just an old-fashioned person ?
