How to Manage SSH Access in cPanel

Secure Shell (SSH) Overview

SSH provides a secure way to access your server remotely via command line. Managing keys is safer than passwords.

Generating SSH Keys

1. Open SSH Access

Go to Security > SSH Access in your cPanel dashboard.

2. Generate a New Key

Click "Manage SSH Keys" then "Generate a New Key". Use a strong passphrase.

# Key Types
RSA: Standard Security
ED25519: Higher Security (Recommended)

Authorizing the Public Key

Once generated, you must click "Manage" and then "Authorize" for the key to be active.
