How To Connect To Your WordPress Account Via Secure FTP. If you own a self-hosted WordPress account, chances are you are using FTP to transfer all your files online.
Here’s the problem: connecting and transferring files via FTP is not secured. All your login credential (including username and password) and data are transmitted over the network in plain text. Any hacker who is sniffing your network can easily obtain your password and gain access to your account. If you are really concerned about the security of your site, this is something that you really need to avoid. In place of FTP, you can use SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) to create a secure network connection instead. Cloud Computing for dummies. Web Analytics.
