Telnet/Shell Access
(LINUX only.  Windows does not support shell access)

Most users will not use Telnet, as it is a harder interface to use than standard email and FTP interfaces.  If you are an advanced user and wish to use telnet, here is some information you will need:

To telnet, you must use an SSH program. SSH is a more secure method of using Telnet than non-SSH Telnet.  If you are using a PC we recommend SecureCRT from www.vandyke.com

A stable international version is available at Datafellows http://www.datafellows.com/download-purchase/

Accessing Your SSH Account (Shell Access)

Shell access allows you to access and operate your system through Shell. As Shell provides more extensive abilities than FTP (such as running scripts etc.) and requires the knowledge of Unix Shell commands which is not very common, it is disabled by default. To enable the Shell Access, you have to get admin's permission.

To request shell access from the admin, go to your control panel and select FTP/User Account menu:

On the page that appears, switch Shell Access ON. The button turns into the Request Status link, and if you click it, you will learn if your request has been approved.

Configuration Details for your SSH Client:

• Protocol: SSH2
• Port 22
• Cipher 3DES
• MAC MD5
• Authentication: Password
• SSH Server: Standard
• Hostname: your domain name or instant access domain
