SSH Access

SSH access can be very useful for running commands such as composer, php artisan, or git. Learn how to connect to your VIPY web hosting account via SSH.

Connection

1. SSH Application

•

It is recommended to use a convenient application like Termius, but you can also use Putty or connect directly from a terminal.

•

In this guide, we include instructions for Putty, but the process is similar across all clients.

2. Connection

•

Open the Putty application after installation and enter your hosting server’s address in the Hostname field, e.g. kw1.vipy.hu. Keep the default port 22, then click Open.

Warning!

Never share your password with others. If necessary, change it immediately for security.

Putty Open

•

For the username, enter your account name as shown in the client portal, e.g. client1.

•

The password is the same as your hosting account password. If you change it in the panel, it will also change for SSH access.

Error!

Each hosting account has only one SSH user, which has full access to all files on your web hosting space.

Available commands

Useful

PHP, Composer

The PHP versions selectable in the control panel are also available to run via SSH. If you want to run composer with a specific PHP version, you can do it as follows:

keyhelp-php82 /usr/local/bin/composer <...>

In this case it will be executed with PHP 8.2. The php command always uses the newest version.
