Connecting to your seedbox over SSH
SSH gives you a command line on your seedbox or storage box, so you can manage files, run scripts and use tools like rsync and rclone right on the server. You need an SSH client (Terminal on macOS and Linux, PowerShell or PuTTY on Windows) and three details: your server hostname, your username and your password.
Your username and password are on your service page in the client area, and the hostname is the server address your seedbox panel opens at (SERVER.pulsedmedia.com). Where do I find my seedbox login details? covers where your login details live. Then connect with:
ssh your_username@SERVER.pulsedmedia.com
Enter your password when asked. It is the same password you use for the web panel, SFTP and FTP; How do I change my seedbox password? covers getting a new one. To log in without typing a password at all, set up SSH key based authentication. For FTP and SFTP access, see Seedbox access via FTP, SSH and SFTP on our wiki.
