Connecting to the restore via SFTP
If you have an SFTP client installed and integrated with your web browser, selecting the Launch SFTP option will automatically connect the client to your cloud restore and launch your SFTP client.
The Launch SFTP feature has been tested for compatibility with WinSCP. Other file browsers are untested and may produce unreliable results.
To manually configure your SFTP client, click Show SFTP Details. You can use this information to configure any client capable of completing the connection process.
Connecting to the restore via Weblink
If you click Launch File Browser, you will see an interactive file directory of your restore. This window functions like a desktop browser. Clicking a directory's name will navigate you deeper into the file structure.
