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.
