# Connecting via FTPS to a Shared Linux Server

In order to enable **FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS)**, please follow the following steps with your FTP client:

1. Use your **Cpanel username / password**, not a created virtual FTP account ([user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com)) for the FTP user / pass.

2. Make sure **you are using the explicit (ftpes\://)**, not the implicit (ftps\://) over your servername **(ftpes\://server.mochahost.com)**.

3. Below is a screen-shot of an example setup via FileZilla.

PS. Please note that **SFTP (FTP over SSH)** and **FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS)** are completely different and **SFTP is not supported under our Shared Linux Servers.**
