# Secure FTP (SFTP) Access

### Good News! <a href="#good-news" id="good-news"></a>

As of antman 0.5.0, you have SFTP access to your Antsle and each antlet by default! Just use any FTP client such as the popular [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/)!

### SFTP to the Antsle <a href="#sftp-to-the-antsle" id="sftp-to-the-antsle"></a>

Just use the credentials shown in the table below. You can use FileZilla's QuickConnect function.

| **Field** | **Value**                          |
| --------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Host:     | {antsle domain name or IP address} |
| Username: | root                               |
| Password: | {yourpassword}                     |
| Port:     | 22                                 |

Filezilla: When the SFTP protocol is chosen the port will default to 22 unless a different port number is entered. See example below.

### SFTP to a specific antlet <a href="#sftp-to-a-specific-antlet" id="sftp-to-a-specific-antlet"></a>

Note: if you [configured a bridged virtual NIC](/networking/bridge.md), the following method will not work. You can SFTP directly to the IP address configured on the bridged interface.

To access antlet with IP address 10.1.1.12, use these credentials:

| Field     | Example antlet 10.1.1.12 | antlet 10.1.1.{num}    |
| --------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| Host:     | sftp\://myantsle.local   | sftp\://myantsle.local |
| Username: | root                     | root                   |
| Password: | {yourpassword}           | {yourpassword}         |
| Port:     | 22012                    | 22000 + {num}          |
