** This works using the default setup on mac os x (tcsh, BSD) If you want to have shell access for a user, you can turn on SSH for them by going to the Users > Users area of our web panel and clicking the link for that user! USE SSH2 FOR YOUR CONNECTION* We do support sftp and scp.įor security reasons, new users are set up as FTP-only by default. We currently support both version 1 and 2 of the SSH protocol, but we plan to phase out protocol 1 soon. If you have a Unix or Linux machine, you can SSH from the command line assuming you have SSH installed. We would particularly recommend Putty for Windows, and MacSSH for Mac. You can find links to a number of free SSH clients at: Note that you cannot disable telnet to your domain if you're a shared hosting customer. Although we don't require an ssh client to use our servers, we do recommend them to users who are worried about the security of their site. All ssh clients encrypt whatever travels through the connection in a very secure manner, ensuring that nobody is able to see things such as passwords while in transit from machine to machine. However, it has one added bonus: Security. This standard, just like Telnet, allows you to log into another computer. There is another standard out there that you may find useful known as 'ssh', which stands for 'Secure Shell'. It is modeled after the standard telnet client present on most Unix/Linux boxes, and can be run from a command line by typing in 'telnet ' (as in the previous example, should be replaced with your actual domain name).

The BeOS also includes basic telnet, which is one of the best command line clients we've seen. Note that this is not available with some very old versions of Windows. You can use it by going under the Start Menu, selecting the 'Run' option, and typing in 'telnet ' ( should be replaced with your actual domain name). However, Windows actually comes with a very basic telnet client already. You may have to look around to find the best one for your needs.įor the Macintosh, we recommend the following Telnet clients:įor Microsoft Windows-based PCs, there are several Telnet clients you can choose from.

Telnet programs are very similar, even though some offer features that are missing in others. We would suggest, however, that you use SSH instead (see below).

Telnet isn't for everyone, but if your site demands a little extra flexibility, it would be wise to learn how to use Telnet to add more value to it. You can actually run programs on the other computer, edit your web files using one of many Unix/Linux text editors, and generally do all sorts of powerful stuff with the likes of CGI and Perl. However, unlike FTP, Telnet lets you do more than simply upload and download files. Telnet is a protocol, like FTP, that allows you to access another computer.
