Terminal

The Terminal tab opens a command-line session in the browser, signed in as the website’s own system account. The session has only that account’s permissions and cannot touch other websites.

The panel does not store anything you type or see in the terminal.

Requirements

The terminal needs SSH/SFTP login enabled for the website, see SSH/SFTP. If it is off, the tab shows a notice with a link to the Overview where you can turn it on.

Session states

• Connecting… then Connected.
• Session ended: you typed exit or the session was closed.
• Could not connect: usually the panel’s key is broken. Open the SSH/SFTP card in Overview in Overview and click Restore key.

The number of terminals open at once is limited. If the panel reports too many terminals, close older sessions and try again.
