FTPS on cPanel server
| Posted by Hamid Reza, 07-07-2008, 04:09 AM | | Hello,
I`m going to use FTPS for one of my accounts on a cPanel Server.
Should I assign a dedicated IP to that account, then install SSL on FTP.DOMAIN.COM?
Please share your knowledge and help me setup that.
Thanks.

Thank you for your recommendation.
Is SFTP more secure than FTPS? Does it require Dedicated IP like FTPS? Is it accessable via FTP Programs?
Is it possible to refer me to an article to find how to create SFTP for an account?

Secondly, you may also configure public key authentication which will allow you to connect and upload without requiring for a password.
I believe Filezilla as well as other FTP programs support SFTP. It will not require a dedicated IP address. You will have to enable only SSH for the account in question.
