Server Hostname: (please note this depends on what server your account is on)

If you're using a Mac (like me) I recommend using a new Terminal window which is found inside the Utilities folder: If you're using a Windows machine, you may wish to use the PuTTY SSH client. On the next screen you'll be able to Authorize it:Ĭongratulations! At this point your public SSH key has been added to your cPanel account and you're ready to connect via SSH or SFTP. Once your key has been imported, you then need to go back and authorize it by clicking on Manage: I suppose you could put a name for the key if you plan on having multiple if it's not already contained in your public key file. Next, you just need to paste your public key in the selected box:Īs long as you're using a public key, you don't have to worry about the other text fields. You'll notice they also have a section to Generate a New Key, but I personally rather generate those on my computer so it stores everything in the correct place (see above).

If you see a file called id_rsa.pub then you already have a key, you just need to copy it to your clipboard: pbcopy SSH Access: To see if you already have an SSH key setup (on a Mac) go to Utilities -> Terminateand type: cd ~/.ssh
