Sftp With Ssh Keys

[nirenjan]

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to set up an additional FTP account for my cousin to upload some content to our family website, however, I think it would be a lot easier to do so if we had SSH key authentication to authenticate SFTP, instead of having to enter the password at every stage. Is this possible or not at all with the lack of SSH access?

 

Thanks

I am sorry, but SFTP will work only for the main cPanel account - but not for the sub FTP accounts you are creating on cPanel. SSH key authentication is only available on fully dedicated servers, but not available on shared and reseller servers.

Thanks for letting me know.
