SSH
Telnet Access
SSH Telnet allows you to log in to the server
and access the Unix (Linux) prompt. You can then execute commands such
as moving, copying, editing and deleting files, or executing CGI programs.
Your username and password are required to log in.
Our servers support SSH secure shell in order
to protect you and your website from becoming a possible easy target.
SSH secure shell encrypts your commands and information and keeps you
secure. We do NOT allow general Telnet access in order to protect all
of our clients. While we understand that there are many free Telnet
client software options available, SSH can also be obtained freely or it can
also be purchased from several providers for prices beginning at $27.
This is an investment in the security of your website.
Using your SSH Telnet software, you will be
required either use your domain name or IP address.
You will be prompted to login. Type
your FTP username and press enter, then type your password. If all
goes well you should end up at the command prompt in your home directory.
All accounts come with SSH access but we have
set all new plans to not enable this by default. This is to increase
security for all accounts by limiting the number of potential shell users.
If at any point you need SSH access enabled please contact
support
via email or ticket system.

Here is a short list of some of the most
common Linux/Unix commands:
Command |
Function |
| ls |
Lists the contents of the
current directory |
| ls -l |
Lists the contents of the
current directory including file permissions, sizes, and ownership. |
| man
<command> |
Displays the Linux manual
page about <command>. For example, 'man ls' would show
the manual page for the command 'ls'. |
| cd
<directory> |
Change directory to
<directory>. For example, 'cd images' would move to the
subdirectory images, 'cd ..' would move to the parent directory,
and 'cd /home/charlie' would move to Charlie's home directory. |
| pico
<filename> |
Opens <filename> in
the pico editor so that you can edit it online. |
| more
<filename> |

one page at a time. Press the space bar to move to the next page. |
| cat

of <filename>. |
| chmod xxx
<filename> |

files and directory. See the Linux manual page for further details
('man chmod'). |
| dele

file. |
Man
Man is a command you can issue to display
the online Manual.
While using telnet, the man (manual)
command will be very useful as it reports the parameters, syntax, and
even examples for a command.
For example:
man tar
man gzip
man zip
man perl
man whereis
man man
man ls
man cd
man dele
etc.
