39,199 Points- Nick instructs you to connect via SFTP
- Now the question is, which port have the people at your web host configured to be used with SFTP
- To know that, you will need to consult their documentation
- In the case of Web Hosting for Students, their FAQ has the answer ...
> HOW DO I CONNECT WITH SFTP?
> To connect with SFTP, use your normal login credentials, then set the port to "18765"
This assumes you purchased your hosting through http://webhostingforstudents.com/ as Nick did in the pick a web host video.
If you purchased your hosting through a different company, then the port you use to connect via SFTP it will most likely use a different port and you will have to consult the documentation for that company.
