🔐 Connect to your hosting via SSH and SFTP to work with control and security

Managing your hosting efficiently and securely is essential for developers and advanced users.

SSH and SFTP allow you to access your server via command line and manage your files securely.

🔥 Why will you love it?

🔐 1. Professional-level security

  • Forget about plain passwords or exposed sessions.

💻 2. Total control from the terminal

  • Navigate between files, create backups, edit configurations, or automate tasks with scripts.
  • All from your console, without relying on the browser.

📂 3. Efficient and uninterrupted transfers

  • SFTP is much more stable than traditional FTP: ideal for large uploads.
  • Compatible with FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, etc.

🧠 4. Ideal for technical workflows

  • Integrate SSH/SFTP access with your deployment scripts, CI/CD, or development tools.
  • Perfect for developers, agencies, or custom projects.

Why is it so useful?

⚙️ How is it activated?
