Use FTP To Connect To Your WP Engine Website
Last updated on June 18th, 2018. Posted in Business Tools & Services, Web Design For Business, WordPress.
FTP is a very common method for connecting directly to your website. Think of it as opening up a two-way street between your computer and your live site. This is perfect for publishing updates, troubleshooting problems, and so on. With WP Engine, we’ll be using a more secure version of FTP, called SFTP. And in this tutorial, I’d love to show you how it all works, so let’s take a look!

Hey, I’m Geoff. I love helping business owners, creators, and self-marketers just like you learn more about building, launching, and running websites. This stuff ain't rocket science, but it's often made way more complex (and dull!) than it needs to be. Online business is supposed to be fun and profitable...not as dreadful as a double root canal!
