SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol to remotely access another computer securely over the internet.
By default your host has a SSH server installed on it for connecting to.
SSH can be used to configure your host and make changes.
This provides flexibility outside of just uploading webpages.
To access your host through SSH you will need to use the credentails provided upon the host setup.
This should be provided either by an admin or upon purchase, if you do not have these credentails please contact us.
To connect through SSH you will need to use an SSH Client.
The example provided will be similar enough to use for Windows, Linux or MacOSX.
These operating systems come preinstalled with ssh.
Start by opening the terminal on your computer.
Simply run the command as seen below but with your specific username, port and domain name.
If you would like an easy to use SSH client for Windows Try PuTTY.
PuTTY is an open source SSH Client with a Graphical Interface for quick connectivity.
If you would like to use a key instead of a password to connect to your host you have the capability through ssh to configure your host for a more secure setup. This topic is outside of the scope of the provided resources. Please do your own research to determine what works best for you.
