By default, this feature is disabled for the Essential package. To enable it, you must submit a request. For added security, our system exclusively allows access via SSH keys through the terminal, eliminating password-based authentication.
Create a key with Termius
For this guide, we'll be using the Termius application to create and generate an SSH key for server access.
Termius is a popular SSH client application that allows you to securely connect to remote servers using SSH keys or over FTP. It offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy to manage and organize multiple server connections.
Navigate to the Vault tab in Termius.
Select Keychains.
Click on Keys, and a dropdown menu will appear. From here, choose "Generate Key".
Choose ED25519 as the key type algorithm and add a label for easier reference (optional).
You can add a passphrase for extra security. This way, if someone gets access to your device, they will need to enter the passphrase to connect.
When done, click Generate & save
In the next window, you will see both a private and public key. Copy the public key and paste it into the EVC panel.
Head to websites → [Select your website] → Advanced → Developer Tools → SSH key manager and select "Add"
Set a name, paste the public key, and make sure to remove the "Generated By Termius" text at the end!
Once everything is configured, click Upload. You should now be able to access your website's directory via SSH.
