* In the **Credential type** list box, select **SSH/SFTP**.

* In the **Server address** text box, type your domain name (for example, *example.com* ).

* In the **Port number** text box, type `7822`.

* In the WordPress installation path, type the path to your WordPress site.
  > 📘 Note
  >
  > By default, this should be the */public\_html* directory. If you installed WordPress in another directory, specify that directory instead.

* In the **Server username** text box, type your cPanel username.

* In the **Server password** text box, type your cPanel password.

8. Click **Test and save credentials**. If the test succeeds, go to the next step. If the test does not succeed, review the account information you provided in step 7, and then try again.
