How to start a SSH session from the command line Print

  • 0

Quick answer

A command-line SSH connection needs the exact service port and account name. An ordinary hosting account is not a root login.

Applies to

For the owner or an authorized editor of the website/account named in this article. Confirm the installed product version and permissions. Interactive Online hosting access does not automatically grant an application administrator login.

Steps

  1. Use your own authorized computer and obtain the correct hosting connection details. Keep private keys and passphrases outside chat and website files.
  2. With OpenSSH, use ssh -p YOUR_PORT YOUR_USER@YOUR_HOST and verify the host-key fingerprint through an independent trusted source before accepting it.
  3. Test the intended local behavior or a harmless remote read, then save only the intended session settings. Use exit to end a remote shell.

Check the result

Confirm the actual host, account and intended setting, rather than relying on a saved label.

Troubleshooting and support

For a changed host key, permission error or missing setting, confirm the service details and supported application version. Do not bypass certificate/host-key checks or expose an SSH listener publicly.

Contact support from the owning account with the domain, product/version, exact error, time/time zone and redacted evidence. Exclude credentials, session URLs, payment details and private customer records. Confirm any separate application-support scope.
