SSH/SFTP

SSH/SFTP is a card in the Overview tab, not a tab of its own. The old address /sites/<name>/ssh still works and redirects to the Overview.

Use it to upload files and manage the website from the command line or SFTP software.

Connection details

The card shows Host, Port, Account and State (On / Off). Click a field to copy its value.

Enabling login

Click Enable login. The panel generates a random password and shows it only once on the result page. The panel stores it nowhere, so copy it right away.

Resetting the password

Reset password stops the old password working immediately. SFTP software and anyone using the account must enter the new one, which is also shown only once.

Disabling login

Disable login locks the password: the account can no longer sign in through SSH or SFTP. The website keeps running. Enabling login again creates a new password.

While login is off, the Terminal and the panel’s file manager are unavailable too.

The panel’s key

The terminal and file manager sign in with a separate key, so they do not need the password above. The key shows one of three states:

• Can sign in: normal.
• Cannot sign in, restore it: click Restore key and the panel reinstalls the key.
• Not checked.
