In order for you to move from your server or managed server to our cloud, we need SSH access.
For the SSH connection a key pair is needed, you can generate it as follows:
-
Login to cPanel
-
Navigate to SSH / Shell Access → Manage SSH Keys → Generate New Key
-
Generate a password and save it securely, you don't need to change the rest of the settings
-
Generate the key
-
Click on "Manage update" in the "Public keys" list
-
Activate the key by "Authorize"
-
Convert the private key for Putty, download it and include it in Putty
-
Server: YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD
-
Port: 22
-
User: cPanel username
-
Password: Enter the SSH key password you just generated, do not use the FTP or cPanel password
-
Include Key: Under Connection → SSH → Auth → Browse → enter the key you just exported
Using Terminal or Finder, copy the key you just generated to the ".ssh" folder in your user folder.
Enter the following in the terminal (set the access rights and select the key for the connection):
chmod 0600 .ssh/YOUR-KEY ssh -i .ssh/YOUR-KEY FTP-USER@YOUR-DOMAIN.COM
Password: Enter the SSH key password just generated, not the FTP or cPanel password.
