To set up FTP and SSH access to your hosting account, follow these steps:
-
Log in to your hosting account control panel, such as cPanel.
-
Navigate to the "FTP Accounts" section and create a new FTP account. Enter a username and password for the account.
-
Select the directory that the FTP user will have access to. This will typically be the root directory of your website.
-
Save the FTP account information, and use it to connect to your hosting account via FTP client software, such as FileZilla.
To set up SSH access, follow these steps:
-
Log in to your hosting account control panel, such as cPanel.
-
Navigate to the "SSH Access" section and enable SSH access for your account. You may need to contact your hosting provider to have this enabled.
-
Use an SSH client, such as PuTTY, to connect to your hosting account via SSH. You will need to enter your hosting account username and password to authenticate.
-
Once you are connected, you can use command-line tools to manage your hosting account and website.
Note that SSH access provides more advanced functionality and carries greater security risks than FTP access. Be sure to use strong passwords and keep your SSH client software up to date to minimize these risks.
