Configuring and accessing through SSH

At the moment SSH connections are available only in PHP containers.

What is SSH?

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. Typical applications include remote command-line login and remote command execution, but any network service can be secured with SSH.

Configuring

To enable SSH at Umbler, access your Control Panel and under the selected domain go to Website > Settings > SSH and select: Create SSH Hey.

Inform the user, the title (pick a name for the key) and the generated SSH public key.

Done! Your SSH access is configured with your login and SSH Public access Key.

We recommend emulating the SSH environment using Git-SCM. You may use the default settings for the installation.

Use the connection string showed in the Control Panel to connect to your service in Umbler:
