SSH (Secure Shell) is command-line access to the server. Needed for advanced tasks: migration, git, composer, manual ops on large files.
Enable SSH:
- cPanel → “Security” section → SSH Access.
- Manage SSH Keys → Generate a New Key:
- Key name — e.g.
my_ssh. - Password — for the private key.
- Type — RSA or ED25519 (recommended), Size 2048+.
- Key name — e.g.
- Download the private key (.priv file).
- Do not forget to Authorize the public key — otherwise login fails.
Connect from Mac/Linux:
- Save key:
~/.ssh/id_rsa_navjucloud. chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa_navjucloud- Connect:
ssh -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_navjucloud USER@server.navjucloud.tj(port 2222 — standard for shared cPanel).
