How to SSH/sFTP into your server

If you are looking to manage your server using SSH or want to transfer files using sFTP you will need to download the SSH/sFTP key from the access page of the panel as we do not provide a password for logging in via these methods.

Using an SSH/sFTP key increases the security of your service as it requires the user connecting to the service to have a physical file on their system rather than just entering a password.

Downloading the SSH/sFTP key

1. Login to the CreeperPanel then click on the Access link in the sidebar This will take you to the Access page where you can download a tempory SSH Key or upload your own.
   

2. Click on either Generate Temporary Key or you can upload your own key, in this guide we will use the Temporary Key generated on the panel, if you get a pop-up saying it may invalidate existing keys, click on Invalidate Keys
   

3. After clicking on Generate Temporary key it will now show you a popup that contains a lot of text, click on the Download PuTTY Key button to download the SSH/sFTP key
