Uploading files to a Simple Hosting instance using SFTP

Once you have declared a website address on your Simple Hosting instance, you can upload content to your site by following the steps below.

To connect to your Simple Hosting instance, you will need the following:

• Host/Server address: This was provided in the confirmation email sent to you when your instance was created (it is also visible on your instance management page – see your list of instances):
  • sftp.dc0.gpaas.net for the Paris data center
  • sftp.dc1.gpaas.net for the Baltimore data center
  • sftp.dc2.gpaas.net for the Luxembourg data center

• Username: This is your instance's “unique identifier,” a 4- to 7-digit number which was provided in the confirmation email sent to you when your instance was created (also visible on your instance management page). Note: This is different from your Gandi handle.
• SFTP password: Enter the password you defined when you created your instance (This is not the same thing as your Gandi handle password.) (You can reset it if necessary.)
• Remote directory/path: Enter your Simple Hosting website's remote directory, which looks something like this: /lamp0/web/vhosts/www.yourdomainname.com/htdocs/ (replace “www.yourdomainname.com” in the example, with the name of your virtualhost)
• Protocol: SFTP
• Port: 22
