Connection guides
Connect with any SFTP client, or with FTPS if your partner's system cannot speak SFTP. People who don't use file transfer tools can use the web file browser at app.dropwarden.com.
Connection settings
| Setting | SFTP | FTPS |
|---|---|---|
| Host | sftp.dropwarden.com | sftp.dropwarden.com |
| Port | 22 | 21 |
| Username | Your login, shown in the portal (for example acme_jane) | Your login, shown in the portal (for example acme_jane) |
| Authentication | SSH key (recommended) or password, if your organization allows passwords | Password only |
| Encryption | SSH, modern key exchange and ciphers only | Explicit TLS 1.2 or later (AUTH TLS). Implicit TLS and plain FTP are not supported |
| Data connections | Same connection | Passive mode only, ports 50000-50100 |
Verify the server on first connect: compare the host key fingerprint your client shows with the one in the portal under Get started, step Connect. If they differ, do not continue and contact [email protected].
If your firewall needs an address, use the static IP shown in the portal. It is also the address our webhooks come from.
