Providing File Access (SFTP) to Developers on Jolt Control Panel
When a developer needs access to the files for a specific website hosted on Jolt Control Panel, you can grant secure SFTP access directly through the Jolt Control Panel. This process is quick, does not affect the live website, and ensures the developer receives only the credentials they need.
1. Log in to the Jolt Portal
Sign in to your Jolt account and open the Jolt Control Panel from the main menu.
2. Select the Website
Locate the website you want to grant access to. Click the Settings next to the site.
3. Locate SFTP Connection Details
On the left-hand side, the Overview panel displays the essential connection information the developer will need. This includes
- IP Address
- SFTP Port
- Username
Make a note of these details.
4. Generate or Reset the Password
To provide a password for the developer:
- Click the Change link next to the password field.
- In the Password Management section, select Reset Password.
- A new password will be generated.
Resetting the password does not affect the functioning of the website
5. Provide the Credentials to the Developer
Share the connection details with the developer in a clear format. For example:
Code
Protocol: SFTP
Port: 2223
IP Address: {your_server_IP]
Username: [your_username]
Password: the reset password
(Use the actual credentials from your Jolt Control Panel.)
