SSH Telnet
Learn more about SSH and how this easy protocol will provide you with the ability to quickly handle whole servers.
Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange info between a hosting server and a client. Since the data exchanged by the 2 sides is encrypted, a third party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a preferred means of handling a website hosting account. The commands which can be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for example, the possibilities are limited as you shall not have root access to the website hosting server, so you could just create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, export and import databases, etcetera. They are all actions which are carried out in the shared hosting account and do not need a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you will have the ability to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or only a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you do not use a UNIX-like OS, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, which you can use to connect to the remote server as well.
SSH Telnet in Shared Website Hosting
SSH access may be allowed with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel if the shared website hosting that you've chosen provides this function as standard. If not, you could add it via the Add Services/Upgrades section of your Control Panel and enable it immediately. You will discover all the information and facts which you need inside the SSH section of the Control Panel - the host, the port number and the username which you have to use, as well as detailed Help articles in which we've listed the commands you can use in the account and examples of the syntax you have to use. The SSH password can be modified from the very same section anytime with a few clicks. Assuming that SSH access is enabled, you shall also be able to connect safely using an FTP client too. With an SFTP connection, each of the files you upload shall go through an encrypted connection.
