Using FTP/SFTP in Windows

FTP is an older protocol which transfers files in clear text. A more secure version is SFTP, which uses encryption through SSH to transfer files. BackupBus supports both. You just need to download a good client. BackupBus recommends trying out FileZilla FTP Client. It supports both FTP and SFTP connections.

Usage

With your client, connect to the following address:

Host: USERNAME.backupbus.com
Username: USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Port: 22

Don't forget to replace the USERNAME and PASSWORD fields with your information. Port 22 is for SFTP, and Port 21 is FTP. Once you are connected, you can begin transferring your files. FileZilla works as simply a drop and drop program. Anything you want on your server, you can just drag there.
