We do not offer SFTP or SCP access to our servers because it would require granting shell access. For security reasons, we do not offer shell access under any circumstances. The improved security that comes from SFTP and SCP is far outweighed by the risks inherent to the enabling of shell access on a public server. SFTP is available with our new cloud hosting service.
