Right, im new to this one so I was hoping somebody could explain it to me. Does this mean I can activate something like ... umm.. a Linux based ventrilo server on my domain and use it? Or am I totally wrong?What is SSH?
The SSH (Secure Shell) is a UNIX-based command interface and protocol designed to perform a number of functions, such as file transfer between computers, execution of commands on a remote computer, or logging on to a computer over a network. It establishes an encrypted connection between an SSH client and an SSH server.
How do I connect to my account by using SSH?
Firstly click on the Activate button to allow the Secure Shell access. Then choose the SSH password by typing it in both fields. In order to connect to your account via the SSH you will need an SSH client and the following logging details:
Host name:
any of your active domain or subdomain names, e.g. my-best-domain.com
Port:
22 (leave by default)
Login:
your hosting account username
Password:
the SSH password you have set in this section
How do I deactivate the SSH?
If you would like to deactivate the Secure Shell and disallow further access to your account, simply click on the Deactivate button.
