SSH is a secure method of connecting to your Linux Hosting account to move files and execute commands. Follow these steps to enable SSH for your account - you don't need to configure any public or private keys.
From your client area go to:
Services -> My Services -> click on the green "Active" button -> Login to cPanel/Control Panel
In the account Dashboard, under Settings click Server.
Next to SSH access, click Manage.
Click the SSH access switch to turn it on. The switch turns green and your SSH credentials appear in the list. Use these credentials to log in to cPanel via SSH.
