Shell

Does Helion support it and how to use it to copy file (by sever) from host to host?

"Helion" is a unit of currency.

"HelioHost" is the free host.

"HelioNet" is the forums.

"Helio Networks" is the general term for both HelioHost and HelioNet.

Get those straight... as for shell support, you can easily do that through your computer at home, you don't need shell access to transfer files between servers.

Hi! djbob,

Are you saying I can telnet to <my_domain>.heliohost.org from my computer? I have just tried that but have been refused for connection.

No, you can use FTP.

Cpanel appear to have an SSH/Shell option however it looks like you have to setup SSH keys.

I'm assuming it users Key based authentication and not keyboard interactive?

 

telnet is a VERY bad idea. It sends all data cleartext and can be prone to things like snooping and man in the middle attacks.

 

to copy with SSH use scp.

 

scp /path/to/my/local/file user@example.com:/path/to/place/to/copy/to

 

Not sure if SSH is actually active, have't tried it.

 

You may also be able to use SFTP, a secured version of FTP.

Password authentication initiates key-based authentication in shell. Basically, you enter your password and then a key is generated for authentication in further server-client communciation. However, we restrict shell usage because of the security risk it poses. Jailshell access may be allowed if you give us a legitimate reason.
