Just FYI I spent a bunch of time hitting a wall on step 13 Arn’s post above detailing how to connect to my shared hosting shell via SSH on a Mac If you were to use the example above, replacing the example values with your own real values, you would only need to type the following at the terminal prompt: ssh imhĪnd you will be instantly connected to your server over SSH. Once you have done that, you can name the connection and associate values with it, as in the example below: Host imh You just need to create a file called “config” in the local. If you don’t want to type all of those options into your terminal every time you connect, you can use a local SSH configuration file to simplify it.

#USING PUTTY SSH PASSWORD#
Enter the password for your key file and hit Enter.Enter your cPanel username and then hit Enter. Open PuTTY, under Connection click SSH, then Auth.You can use another FTP client to avoid this issue. FileZilla is noted for not supporting version 3 of the PPK file. Build 94 and older will use the older formats (version 1 and 2). The version that is converted will vary based on the cPanel version that you are using.
Some FTP clients are unable to use the PuTTy_user-Key-File-3 version. You will see it in the first line when you convert the key (as per the screenshot below). NOTE: If you have converted the key to PPK format using cPanel make sure to review the PuTTy-User-Key-File version that it has been converted to. Enter the passphrase used to generate the SSH key in the Enter the passphrase to unlock the “id_dsa” key for conversion: field.
