Accessing Couchdrop via SFTP or FTP requires a user account. We do not recommend using your owner account as they have elevated permissions to Couchdrop and generally SFTP users are shared with external systems and providers.

User Management in Couchdrop

Checking SFTP and FTP Access

You can see who has access directly in the Couchdrop SFTP section from the web app.

Granting access rights

Access to SFTP and FTP is granted on a user level and on a group level. Account administrators and owners can manage these settings from Couchdrop Administration section.

To manage, open a user or group and click the Access Controls tab.
