SneakyHub enforces a 1GB upload limit on the website. To upload larger files, we'll use SFTP with the WinSCP client (for Windows users).
Download WinSCP – Click here to visit the WinSCP download page.
Click the green Download WinSCP button. The download should start automatically.
Open the downloaded file to start the installation process.
Choose whether to install for everyone or just your account.
Continue through the installer by clicking Next. Once installed, you’ll see a success screen.
Open WinSCP. If it launches a login page, ignore it for now.
Go to your SneakyHub Panel, sign in, select your server, and click on Settings.
Locate SFTP Details and click Launch SFTP. When prompted by the browser, press Open.
A certificate prompt may appear; click Yes to continue.
Enter your dashboard or panel password to finalize the connection.
Left Panel – Your local files on your computer.
Right Panel – Files on your SneakyHub server.
To Upload – Drag files from the left panel (local) to the right panel (SneakyHub server).
To Download – Drag files from the right panel (server) to the left panel (local).
On the left side, you'll see your files, and the right side is your SneakyHub panel. To upload, drag one item from the left to the right to upload to SneakyHub servers, or drag a file from the right to the left to download onto your computer.
To change folders on the left side of WinSCP, click the text on the top to go back to folders.
Use FileZilla as an alternative to WinSCP.
Manually fill in the SFTP Connection Host, Username, and Password (same as your SneakyHub dashboard or panel password).
Use FileZilla. Fill in the Host, Username, and Password fields as mentioned above.
Note: For both macOS and Linux, FileZilla can be downloaded at filezilla-project.org.
