Yes. SFTP (file transfer over SSH) works with your cPanel hosting account.
- Add your SSH key in Security › SSH Access › Manage SSH Keys and authorise it.
- In FileZilla or WinSCP, choose the SFTP protocol, use your cPanel username and the key, and the host name and port from our support team.
If you only use FTP accounts, use FTP over TLS instead, which also encrypts your connection.
