SSH / SFTP and the web terminal

🖥 SSH / SFTP and the web terminal

Command-line access with an SSH key, or a terminal right in the browser

Turn SSH on

Create a key on your own machine if you have none: ssh-keygen -t ed25519

Open ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub and copy the whole line.

Open the site → SSH / SFTP tab, paste the public key and enable it.

Connect with ssh [email protected] or sftp [email protected] — the exact username is shown on that page.

Key authentication only — passwords are not accepted.
The session is confined to that site's folder, capped on RAM / CPU / process count, and port forwarding is disabled.
Use the server IP, as with FTP — not a Cloudflare-proxied hostname.

The web terminal

If you would rather not set up a key, use the Open Web Terminal button on the same tab — it borrows the panel session you already have. Handy for short jobs like running composer or artisan.

💡 SSH access is granted per account by an administrator. If you cannot see the tab, ask them.
