Or driver from Salerno
We used

Positano
Note: the ferry is of course at water level
From there it is all uphill , steps and stairs to town or your accommodations
You might want to ask your host for your best option
A driver from Salerno will be to your door
Ferry is weather dependent and Positano dock is small so most affected by weather closures

This is a frequent topic
A couple of searches will bring up more info

WE just did this trip last week. We took high speed train form Florence to Naples. We had arranged for Positano Taxi service to pick us up at train station and bring us to our Airbnb in Positano. It went seamlessly. $125 euros for the driver to meet us off of the train, help with bags & bring us to Positano. We used them for 7 transfers over 15 days in various locations. No wasted time waiting for taxis, train connections or Ferries.
