SSH keys
Servers and shared accounts are signed in to with an SSH key instead of a password.
1. Make a key
On macOS, Linux or Windows (PowerShell), run:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com"
Press Enter to keep the default file and pick a passphrase. This makes a private key (keep it to yourself) and a public key ending in .pub.
2. Add the public key
Print the public key and paste it into the SSH keys page of the console, or into the order form:
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
3. Sign in
Root server:
ssh root@web1.eu.tport.cloud
No-root server or shared account (use your user name):
ssh app@web1.eu.tport.cloud
Shared accounts also take SFTP with the same key, so any SFTP client (FileZilla, Cyberduck, WinSCP) works.
Lost your key?
Add a new public key in the console. On a root server you can also rebuild the server, which keeps its address and name but erases its disk.
