+Setting the domain name during [[cloudappliance:applinstallation|Appliance Installation]] allows **FTP** and **FTPS** to be be accessed through the domain name.  To access the File Fabric using **SFTP** through CloudFTP when using a File Fabric version before v1906.04, you must first manually reset the value of the serversme variable in /var/www/smestorage/ftpserver/sftpserver/sftpserver.conf to the File Fabric's domain name.
+Additionally, you may find that it is necessary to regenerate the File Fabric's SFTP RSA keys before using **SFTP** to access the File Fabric with CloudFTP.  Instructions for doing that can be found later in this document.
