We could see that the TCP/IP connection happened since it said that it started sending commands. This did start the FTP connection process. Then we clicked on the Quick Connect button. We entered 22 in the Port fieldof FileZilla. If the port says 21, then this is NOT an encrypted FTP connection. The Kerberos encryption was used to login (for the Username and Password) and for the data transfer, but not absolutely everything.
These old extensions would still use unencrypted connections and process commands through an unencrypted connection. This is much better than the old solutions of securing FTP by using the Kerberos or similar extensions. This ensures an encrypted connection from the get go. As mentioned above, this is really the SSH port. We entered that parameter in the Password field of FileZilla. Again this increases security levels by not allowing you to create a password which would likely not be as strong (too short, not using all types of characters available, etc.) This is not the same password as your GoDaddy account password. The GoDaddy system also assigns a password specific to that Unix user account. We entered that parameter in the Username field of FileZilla.
This allows for a more secure sFTP account since its unlikely that a hacker can guess that account user name. The Hosting system of GoDaddy creates a Unix user for you and that makes use of your domain name plus a few digits. We entered that parameter in the Host field of FileZilla. The information in the account showed four elements as follow: Note that you only get one account with which to connect in this way. This opens a pop with information about your sFTP account. To reach the page with the sFTP information, you need to be logged in your GoDaddy account, go to Hosting, select the domain concerned with the problem, then click on sFTP on the bottom right.
It can give away your login and password credential to a hacker listening at your traffic. So I strongly suggest you do not try with port 21. Port 22 is encrypted, so it is considered very secure in comparison. Just remember that port 21 is not secure. Your account may also have an FTP, I did not try. You can connect to your server using the SSH (Secure SHell) server and use that to send FTP commands to handle file transfers securely. The account for the Hosting also includes information about sFTP. It gives you access to various functions and keeps track of necessary upgrades. It's not a bad platform, they actually include quite a bit of integration between the WordPress installation on your server and your GoDaddy account. Today I had to work with a customer who decided to use GoDaddy to host their WordPress website.
