Secure Shell now available.
The Secure Shell application gives developers the tools to manage
their sites using a command-line interface, without the risk of
compromising the security of the hosting server environment. SSH is
the official standard for securing remote access and file transfers
over the Internet and is similar to working in a DOS environment. SSH
will allow developers to:
* Save time and effort with the ability to make live, secure changes
to their website's HTML code.
* Run up to three live sessions simultaneously at the server level.
SSH is disabled by default. Those who wish to have SSH access must
enable it using the Secure Shell application. This application will be
located in the "Security" section in WebsiteOS. If you do not have
that option, contact us so we can enable it on your domain. Users who
wish to log in using SSH must use an SSH-capable client, such as
"Putty" (Windows application). Please note that enabling SSH does not
disable WebsiteOS.
