How to get and use an SSH client

Modern operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux) include a built-in SSH client inside the Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell. If you prefer a dedicated app with a visual interface, you can also use popular third-party clients like PuTTY.

Once you are logged into the server (using port 2222), you can execute standard server commands.

Note that SSH access is configured at the domain level and is only available to the main FTP user, not for additional users. Root access is not available and, in turn, running commands that require root access will not work.
