How do I access my Zenutech account by SSH?

how to connect by SSH to your Zenutech account

Some Zenutech clients prefer to perform file actions on the server through a console using the SSH(SSH2) protocol which allows them to issue commands directly to the Linux shell. By default, SSH access is not set up for Zenutech accounts. If you would like to be able to connect by SSH to your Zenutech account, please send an email to our support staff with your request and we can establish a login for you. If you are signing up for a new account, then you can place your request for SSH access in the comments field during the order process (when prompted to do so).

In order to maintain the high level of security on our servers, there are a limited number of commands that are available to use in the shell when you connect by SSH. You will also be in a jailed shell environment where you will only have access to the folders within your account.

Here are the commands that you will have access to if you are provided SSH access:

bash/sh
bunzip2/bzip2
cat
chmod
clear
cp
date
diff
du
echo
find
ftp
git
grep/egrep
gunzip
gzip
head
host
less
ln
ls
md5sum
mkdir
more
mv
mysql
mysqldump
nano
patch
pwd
rm
rmdir
rsync
sed
sort
tail
tar
touch
unzip
vi
wc
wget
zcat
zip
scp
ssh
svn

You will also be able to upload files by SFTP to the server over your SSH connection.
