Create SFTP Users
Learn about allowed users for SFTP and FTP
Accessing Couchdrop via SFTP requires a user account. Inbound SFTP users are independent from Administrators in Couchdrop and are designed to have limited access.
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.
