To connect via SSH, use the following commands from a Terminal type application (command line interface, CLI / Command Line Interface) on your device, for example:

  • PuTTY (Windows)
  • Windows 10 SSH client (help in French / in English)

Then enter the following command:

ssh username@server
  • username being the username of the FTP account
  • server being the host server (e.g. xxxx.ftp.infomaniak.com)

 

To know which command is available and know the path to use, run the command "whereis":
