    I have a cpanel server and I'm trying to connect to it via sftp. I was wondering if anyone knows how it set it up, or how I go about setting it up. Thanks

    Open you ftp client
    Setup a new connection on sftp protocol on Port 22(The port on which ssh is working) You contact to ssh directly through putty aswell

    Yeah. As far as I know you need shell access. Login to your system shell using putty or similar program using the ssh protocol. Then do what Saad said above. Your ftp client should tunnel through the ssh connection.
