SSH stands for <\/span>Secure Shell<\/b>, or <\/span>Secure Socket Shell<\/b>. It allows you to access your server remotely from another computer over any network. SSH lets you conveniently make modifications to your server configuration without having to physically access it in the same location. To fully utilize your SSH access, follow the steps here:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Login to your website\u2019s cPanel.<\/p>\n 2. On your cPanel homepage, go to Security<\/strong> and click on SSH Access<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. The SSH Access page will load up. From here, click on Manage SSH Keys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You will then be prompted that your key pair has successfully been generated.<\/p>\n Click on Go Back<\/strong> to return to the Manage SSH Keys<\/em> page. The key pair you have just generated should be visible on this screen.<\/li>\n 4. To authorize a (public) SSH key, click on Manage<\/strong> (this option is only available for public keys).<\/p>\n Hit Authorize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A prompt will show once your SSH key has been authorized successfully.<\/p>\n (Do the same process to disable \/ deauthorize an SSH key.)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can also perform the following actions to a public or a private key:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nEnable SSH Access in cPanel *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\nChoose this option if you need a new \u201ckey pair\u201d – a private key and a public key.
You will be directed to this page:
Complete the following fields:
\nKey Name<\/em>: Defaults to \u201cid_rsa\u201d. If you will be customizing the key name, take note of it as you log in to the server via SSH.
\nKey Password<\/em>: Make sure your password matches with the Reenter Password field. Take note also of the Strength of your password. (Tip: Use Password Generator to help you out with a unique and strong password.)
\nKey Type<\/em>: As stated in the same page, select between RSA (faster for Verification) and DSA (faster for Key Generation).
\nKey Size<\/em>: The recommended key size is 2048 bits (the higher the key size, the better).
\n
Once you have completed the form, click on Generate Key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
