# How to connect your SFTP storage

Weap.io allows you to store your backups on an SFTP storage.

## Connect any SFTP storage

Open the Weap.io dashboard, go to the storages page and click the button `Add new storage`.

In the modal select `SFTP` and fill the form with the details of your SFTP server.

* `host`: the host of your SFTP server
* `user`: the user of your SFTP server
* `password`: the password of your SFTP server
* `port`: the port of your SFTP server. `22` is the default one
