comranking Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 What do yo mean? If you have ssh access you can use putty for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michealfan Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 This is what I want to know- how to verify whether I have SSH access or not? I hardly knows anything regarding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If you're on Shared or Reseller Hosting, you would need to ask your Host whether or not you have SSH access. If you don't, many hosts will enable it if you ask their Support to do so. (One of mine does, and did for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan H. Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You can probably connect with your FTP credentials, but would you really know what you're doing in the shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michealfan Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thats the point and this is the reason I wish to know how to start with the SSH . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 OK, now I understand what you're asking about. That section is for the creation of an Authentication Key, which is used INSTEAD of a manually entered password in an SSH client. On my server, I have Password Authentication turned off, and use Auth Keys exclusively. For that, you can generate an Auth Key inside cPanel, or with Pageant (which is included with the Putty SSH Client package). If you want to connect using Password Authentication (and *most* Hosts use this method) instead of an Auth Key, you don't need to worry about it. Just get an SSH program and enter the host/user/password details. I recommend Putty ( http://putty.org, which leads you to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html ). It's free and works perfectly. Get the correct release version package for your Operating System. If you're using Windows, here's the direct link: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-0.60-installer.exe That should get you started.
