SSH Help

[kuemerle5]

OK, so I'm trying to SSH to my server and there are so many options available to do this and I think I may have locked myself out trying different things (don't worry, I'll submit a support request to unlock my SSH privileges). Could someone please explain the simplest way to SSH to my server? Thanks!

Assuming your on windows, you will probably want to use the SSH client called Putty (you should be able to find it with google). Last I looked it was entirely free and I imagine it still is. If your on linux or mac, the SSH command in terminal should do.

 

Once your account is unlocked for SSH, just use putty to connect to whatever your domain or IP is, along with your cpanel username / password. If your using linux or mac, the command is something like:

 

ssh username@domain.com

 

Or, if you are given an alternate SSH port to use, use the "-p" flag... So if you had port 1234 your command would be:

 

ssh -p 1234 username@domain.com

 

As for the variety of options, tunnels, proxying and other features, you can ignore them until you need them.

And for the record the SSH port is 2233
