# 01cb) Accessing the SFTP server
Since we're already in the console view, I'll quickly demonstrate how to connect to the SFTP.
On my Windows machine, I use WinSCP as my primary SFTP client. So I'll use that for this tutorial. It serves my purposes well, so I have no experience with other programs, possibly with the exception of Transit5 for macOS. That also worked well for me.
1. While in the Pterodactyl Console view, find the **Settings** menu:
2. Find the **Launch SFTP** and select it:
3. If your SFTP Client supports it, your browser will display a popup asking if you want to use that client to launch the SFTP link.
4. You should obviously answer **YES** so that we can examine the SFTP server.
5. It'll ask for a password - it's the same password you use for logging into the Pterodactyl Panel.
{% hint style="info" %}
**The SFTP password** is linked to the user who has been designated as the server owner. This goes for each server created.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://guides.engels.zip/using-pterodactyl/01-setting-up-a-game-server/01c-final-steps/01cb-accessing-the-sftp-server.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
