To connect to your account, follow these steps:
- Open a terminal window.
- At the command prompt, type the following command. Replace username with your cPanel username, and example.com with your site's domain name. The default SSH is port 22.
ssh username@example.com - Type your password when you are prompted to do so. For security reasons, no characters appear in the terminal as you type the password.
- When the remote server's command line prompt appears, you are connected. The initial command line prompt is:
username@example.com [~]# - You can now run commands. For example, to see a listing of the current directory, type ls, and then press Enter.
- To close the SSH connection when you are done, type exit and then press Enter.
