Hi,
I already use ssh as a convenient way to update my website, being able to access any file by typing cd public_html in Linux terminal.
But is there a way, via ssh, to access cpanel? Thanks
Well cPanel is just a graphical user interface to a bunch of hosting features and scripts/commands. For instance, when use file manager it is asking Linux to list files through things like the ‘ls’ command etc.
You can find many of the cPanel scripts in directories like:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/ → This is where most automation scripts are stored.
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/ → Contains essential cPanel commands.
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/ → Commands related to WHM.
This is just to name a few places and depends on your hosting on what you can access or not. You might want to ask your host if you can’t locate the scripts.
