Default SFTP and hosting?

Hi all,

I just used dreamweaver to upload my site. However, I really prefer using Fugu to do basic updates. But! It only does secure ftp, and apparently I can't connect using that? Is there a way to set it up so that it will accept sftp connections rather than regular ftp?

Thanks in advance.

You will need to contact support by filling out the form here to request SSH on your account. Once it is enabled you should be able to use SFTP on the account.

You will need to connect on port 2222, so if you have software like Dreamweaver that doesn't actually have a PLACE to choose a port, you'd make your FTP host yourdomain.com:2222

edit: I mean, of course, after SSH is enabled.
