For each Servage hosting account, we are offering one SSH account. SSH stands for Secure Shell and is a way to log in to the server to be able to work directly on the server via text commands.
SSH has plenty of advantages, it allows the encryption of data so that those malicious would-be attackers cannot access your user information and passwords. SSH also allows the tunneling of other protocols such as FTP. You find more information about SSH e.g. on this PAGE
With the help of SSH, you can perform plenty of cool actions such as e.g.
- Find and Import MySQL back ups
- Connection via SSH tunnel
- Search for files and folders (with little effort, you find all files which match your search criteria)
- Recursive change of file permission (changing the permission for plenty of files with little code)
You can even install WordPress via SSH. Check HERE how to do that. But, of course, you can also use our Application installer for that kind of action :)
To use SSH, you will need to install a SSH client first. You find plenty of free SSH clients in the internet like e.g. Putty, Superputty, Kitty and many others.
