My developer set up an Instance in Amazon EC2. It gave me access to the server that I can use PuTTY to connect to it, It's also the same details that i provide in my sFTP.

How do I change these login details? I need to change the login details for my server and the one I use for sFTP.

I'm running on an Ubuntu server.

I did few google search but i'm confuse on how it works. Because I might just change my password for ubuntu and it will not affect my sftp. But Thanks. – user28139 Sep 30 '11 at 16:32
SFTP uses your regular login. – ceejayoz Sep 30 '11 at 17:19

Log into the server via SSH (ie with Putty) and run passwd. It will prompt you to enter your current password and then a new password two times. Done.

(once you change it via SSH, it also applies to sFTP. It's the same thing)
