Using SSH

You need to have an SSH account to use SSH on your Bravenet account.

It is recommended that, only advanced users, use SSH to manage any larger websites that you may choose to host with Bravenet. It provides greater ease-of-use and utility when dealing with the hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of files involved in more complicated websites.

Connecting to SSH with Putty

1. Install PuTTY.
2. Specify the hostname or IP address for your server and hit 'open' to initiate the connection. You can leave all options to default. If this is the first time to connect to the server, you will have to accept its SSH certificate.
3. Specify your username yourname-123456789.
4. Specify your password.
5. Specify your port: 22.
