    Locating your SSH credentials in managed WordPress and managed WooCommerce hosting

    May 21, 2020

    Credentials for Secure Shell (SSH) and SFTP access via command line are available in Managed WordPress and Managed WooCommerce Hosting and are found within the home page of each individual site management page. This article will walk you through the steps to find your SSH login information.

    Note:

    You must generate a new password in order to obtain the command path and SSH information. This will also change the password for your SFTP information. It is not advised to share passwords. Please generate a new password each time you need to log into SSH or SFTP to protect your site from compromise.

    Step 3: Generate and view credentials

    ATTENTION: SSH and SFTP passwords are always synchronized. If you change one, you change the other.
