SFTP¶
The Secure File Transfer Protocol is an encrypted protocol to exchange files between two computers, e.g. your own computer and your Asteroid.
Protect your credentials
Your credentials protect your files. Never share them. Make sure to use SFTP, not FTP. If your SFTP client asks for a port, use 22.

Why SFTP instead of FTP
FTP is an outdated protocol that does not use encryption in its standard implementation. While there are implementations such as FTP over SSL (FTPS), we believe that using a more modern protocol is the better choice.
