SSH SSH
Overview The SSH
option allows you to manage secure telnet access to your
account. Much of the functionality of telneting is handled through
the File Manager option in the Control Panel. However,
there are instances when telneting (outside the operation
of the File Manager) is required to get the job done. The
only way to gain telnet access to your account is by using SSH
secure telnet software that must be loaded on your computer.
The recommended software is Van Dyke Technologies’
Secure CRT. The website for this software is:
http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/index.html.
The SSH
Option allows you to upload the RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman)
key generated on your computer by the SSH software
to the server on which your site resides. Once completed,
you will have secure telnet access to the site. Note:
· You
must be set up for SSH access to your account. If you
are not and you use the SSH option from the Control Panel,
the following message will display when the SSH Manager
opens. Once your
hosting company has given you approval (using whatever
criteria they deem necessary) to use a secure telnet connection
to the server, you will be able to use the SSH Manager
to set up your public (RSA) key on the server.
