Here is a step-by-step tutorial to connect to your OuiHeberg hosting via SFTP. This guide will show you how to retrieve your SFTP credentials from the OuiHeberg interface and quickly set up your SFTP client (FileZilla or WinSCP) to manage your files.

Retrieve your connection information in the OuiHeberg panel:

1. Log in to OuiPanel
2. In the sidebar menu, click on Configuration, then on SFTP Access.
3. You should see the following information:
   • Host / Server: it takes the form sftp://gmXX-dcXX.ouiheberg.com:2022 (e.g., gm04-dc04.ouiheberg.com:2022, but yours may be different).
   • Username: a generated identifier (e.g., hsvsea5g.e6fd62f9).
   • Password: the one you set during the purchase or that you can change via the Change my password button.

Keep these three pieces of information (host, username, password) safe: they are essential for establishing the SFTP connection.

Connect via FileZilla: 

If you don't have FileZilla, you can download it directly from your OuiHeberg account ("Download FileZilla" button) or from the official FileZilla website.

Configuration steps in FileZilla

1. Open FileZilla and click on the File menu > Site Manager... (or use the shortcut Ctrl+S).
2. In the Site Manager window, click on New Site and name it (e.g., "OuiHeberg SFTP").
3. On the right-hand side, fill in the following fields:
   • Host: copy the SFTP URL shown in your panel (without the sftp://, e.g., gm04-dc04.ouiheberg.com).
   • Port: enter 2022 (or the port shown in your OuiHeberg account).
   • Protocol: select SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol.
   • Logon Type (or "Connection Type"): Normal.
   • User: copy your SFTP username (e.g., hsvsea5g.e6fd62f9).
   • Password: the one set during the purchase or modified via the interface.
4. Click on Connect.
5. On the first connection, FileZilla will prompt you to accept the server's key. Click on OK (or Always trust this host to avoid future prompts).

Once connected, you can manage your files directly in the explorer window on the right (server side).

Connect via WinSCP: 

WinSCP is another popular SFTP/FTP application. You can download it from your OuiHeberg account ("Download WinSCP") or from the official WinSCP website.

Configuration steps in WinSCP

1. Open WinSCP. In the main window, you will see a Session form.
2. Select SFTP from the File protocol dropdown menu.
3. In the Host name field, enter the host (e.g., gm04-dc04.ouiheberg.com).
4. In the Port field, enter 2022 (or the one provided by OuiHeberg).
5. In the Username field, paste your identifier.
6. In the Password field, enter your SFTP password.
7. Click on Login or Save to save the configuration for later use.
8. Accept the server's key on the first connection.

Once connected, you will see your files and folders on the server side in WinSCP's interface. You can then drag and drop files or folders from your computer to the server (or vice versa).

4. Conclusion

Thanks to SFTP, you benefit from a secure and efficient file transfer, especially useful for uploading large projects or managing your site continuously. The OuiHeberg interface provides all the necessary connection information, and the process is quick, whether you use FileZilla, WinSCP, or any other SFTP client.
