## Connect a Hetzner Storage Box via SFTP

In order to connect a Hetzner Storage Box, follow the same stepts as connecting any SFTP storage but fill the form with the details of the storage box.

* `host`: The host of the server is found on the Storage Box details page. In our example is `u142873.your-storagebox.de`
* `user`: The user is the first part of the host. In our example is `u142873`
