Security
Safer connections, safer downloads
Practical protections to reduce risk while keeping setup painless — token-based access, encrypted transport, and safer download workflows.
Token-based authentication
Use revocable and scoped API tokens instead of sharing passwords.
Encrypted transport
Backup payloads transfer over SSH/SCP. API calls use HTTPS — encrypted in transit.
Secure download links
Downloads can use expiring and/or single-use tokens — ideal for safer server-to-server restores.
Integrity verification
Backups are checked before upload and SHA-256 is shown afterwards.
Least privilege by design
Grant only what’s required for the backup workflow and rotate/revoke tokens whenever needed.
Fast restore, fewer touchpoints
Using wget from your server reduces manual handling versus downloading to a PC and re-uploading.
Example wget format (token shown as example)
[code]wget -L --content-disposition --trust-server-names \
'https://cpbackup.net/backup?action=downloadtoken&token=EXAMPLE_TOKEN'[/code]
