2) Go to the "Settings" menu.

Type in your IP-address into the "to login to the server (via SSH / FTP)" field.
To allow FTP / SSH access for all IP-addresses, select the account you want to work with in the "Сurrent Account" field in the upper right corner of the screen. Go to the "Settings" menu, then select "Allowed IP addresses to your account". Type in 0.0.0.0/0 into the "o login to the server (via SSH / FTP)" field.
In case the "to login to the server (via SSH / FTP)" field is empty - the settings for this account is duplicated from the client-account. If this field is also empty on the side of the client-account - the FTP / SSH access is closed for all IP’s.
Additional information about the access to the FTP / SSH:
You can enter one or more IP-addresses (separated by commas) or subnet / subnets (separated by commas). Prohibited IP-addresses or subnets can also be specified in this field. To do so, put “!” (exclamation point) before the IP-addresses or subnets. Example:
This line will allow access to the subnets 10.0.0.0/16 and 192.168.0.0/16, except for the subnet 192.168.0.0/24 (which is included in the subnet 192.168.0.0/16). The sequence of addresses is important, therefore, prohibited subnets should go before the allowed (!192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.0.0/16), because the filter operates by the rule of "prior to the first match.".
