SSH to your server via macOS Terminal
Enable SSH first. SSH is switched off by default on Krystal accounts, so this command will be refused until you turn it on - see Enable or disable SSH access. Two things worth knowing before you connect: the port is 722, not the usual 22, which is why the command below carries
-p 722; and the shell you land in is a caged environment, so you will not have access to the wider filesystem or to root.As Mac OS has a built-in terminal client you can simply load this up and enter the following command ensuring you enter the cPanel username and the home server name that match your own account, e.g.
ssh -p 722 yourcpanelusername@your-home-server-name
This will then prompt for a password which will be your cPanel password - enter this to complete the login process.
SSH Keys are recommended if you want to restrict SSH access to users with a key rather than just the SSH password.
We have a separate guide on setting up SSH keys for access:
