Telnet
is a protocol that allows you to access your web
server files remotely as if you were sitting at
a computer terminal at the server. Telnet is used
by advanced users for checking log files, setting
permissions on CGI programs, running scripts at
the command line, etc.
The
version of Telnet used at One on One Internet
is called SSH. SSH is more secure than regular
Telnet, and the increased security is why we
use it.
There
are several companies that offer SSH client programs.
One of the best is SecureCRT. They have a 30
day free trial available at their web site at
https://secure.vandyke.com
You
must complete a support request at our help
desk to enable SSH on your account before
you can use the software
.
You
also must specify your IP address in your Control
Panel. Here's how:
- Go to your Control Panel
- Click on SSH icon
- Leave RSA key blank
- Press Submit
- Enter your physical IP
in Address 1
- Press Next
- Download
and install SecureCRT from:
http://www.vandyke.com/products/SecureCRT/
.
- Start the
SecureCRT client. You will see this screen:
- Change
the Protocol drop down to "SSH1".
This will open some new fields on the form.
Enter your domain name in the hostname field
as:
yourdomain.com.
Change
the Port to "22". Enter the username
for your site. Cipher should be 3DES and authentification
should be "Password". Your screen
should look like this (with your site info):
- Click
on the Connect button. You will see the following
pop up window:
- Click
on the Accept & Save button.
You must
do this to accept the encryption key. If you
don't, you won't get in!
- Then
you must configure your IP address in your
Control Panel. Click on the SSH icon in your
Control Panel. This will start the SSH Manager.
You should see your encrypted key in the window.
Click on the Submit button.
-
In the first input box, enter the IP address
of your PC. If you are using a static IP, the
IP address can be found by going to My Computer > Control
Panel > Network > TCP/IP for the adapter
you are using > Properties. If you are using
a cable modem or DSL, Start > Run > type
WINIPCFG in the dialog box > OK > Select
adapter from pull down.

Click Next, then Submit. Note: IP address can
be wild carded with *'s.
