Remote Access allows you to securely manage your website files and server via SSH (Secure Shell) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). This guide will walk you through enabling remote access, retrieving your login details, and connecting via SSH or SFTP with an Agency hosting plan.
Enabling SSH/SFTP Access
Navigate to hPanel > Advanced > Remote Access:
Ensure SSH/SFTP Remote Access is toggled ON (Active).
If you need SFTP-only mode, enable the "SFTP only" option.
Retrieving Your SSH/SFTP Login Details
Once access is enabled, you will see the required credentials:
IP Address – Example:
93.127.174.247Port – Example:
65002Username – Example:
example_userPassword Access – If disabled, use SSH keys for authentication.
Connecting via SSH
Open the terminal on your computer.
Enter the following command (replace with your actual username and IP):
bashCopyEditssh example_user@93.127.174.247 -p 65002
Enter your password or use an SSH key if configured.
Connecting via SFTP
Using a Terminal
Open a terminal and run:
bashCopyEditsftp example_user@93.127.174.247 -P 65002
Enter your password when prompted.
Using an SFTP Client (e.g., FileZilla)
Open FileZilla and go to Site Manager.
Enter the following details:
Host:
93.127.174.247Port:
65002Username:
example_userProtocol: SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol
Click Connect and enter your password or SSH key.
Managing SSH Keys
To enhance security, you can add an SSH key instead of using a password:
In Remote Access, scroll down to SSH/SFTP Keys.
Click Add SSH/SFTP Key and paste your public key.
Save the changes and use the corresponding private key to log in.
🚀 Now you’re all set to securely manage your website remotely!
