On the home page, click on the “New connection” button.

Setting up your connection is fairly straightforward. The only requirement is that you have SSH access on your server. Not all web hosts offer this.

Authentication is based on the public/private key principle.

Configuring your SSH connection from your cPanel

If your host has SSH access and a cPanel-type interface, setting up your connection will be very simple.

  1. Log in to your cPanel interface.

  9. Enter your private key in the settings. The private key you downloaded earlier will allow you to connect automatically and securely to your server.
