SSH: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:18, 11 January 2016

You need to have an SSH account to use SSH on your Bravenet account. View '''Creating a new SSH account''' if you still need to create an account.

It is recommended that, only advanced users, use SSH to manage any larger websites that you may choose to host with Bravenet. It provides greater ease-of-use and utility when dealing with the hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of files involved in more complicated websites.

Creating a SSH account

Log in to your Bravenet account.
Select the SSH tab.
Select the New SSH Account option.
You will be prompted to enter in a username and password. This will be the user that your SSH session will show when you log in with the account you are creating. Note that your username will automatically be followed by a number - this is part of your username. For example, testuser-1234567890. Ensure you choose a secure password! When done, click the create button.
You can now login to your SSH account using either Putty on Windows/OSXc or the Terminal in Linux/OSX.
