ssh enabling

[sebi90]

Hello, as i tried to connect to my domain via ssh (``ssh <myusername>@<mydomain>''), i received the following message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shell access is not enabled on your account!

Connection to <mydomain> closed.

Although i think it was obvious that SSH wouldn't be enabled per default, i'm curious how to get it enabled? I basically just need it to make some CGI scripts executable, and i don't see any option to do the same via ftp (commandline or in my filemanager).

The second thing is, that webDAV (dav:// and davs://) doesn't seem to work; my filemanager reports me this while trying to connect:

Error: HTTP Error: Connection terminated unexpectedly
Please select another viewer and try again.

The third thing is, is ruby as CGI available? unfortunately some of my sites require it, but i guess i can live without it, if it's not available at this time (or in the future).

kindly, sebi

I'm not sure if i understand? I meant ssh, not HTTPS ...

Hmm, maybe I'm stupid. -__- lol

I've talked to Account Managers before and I've been told to let people know that SSH can be found at that URL. However, now after doing my own research with your links, I realized that that information is questionable.

The free hosting accounts at x10Hosting do not come with shell access, sorry.

Okay, but using CGI is quite useless without the ability to make them executable (and therefore usable), or did i miss something here?

You can change the permissions (ie make them executable) via FileManager or FTP.

Thanks, but either my ftp client is broken, or i did something wrong, because making the specified files executable didn't work with the commandline tool, only with filezilla.. thanks all anyway!! :biggrin:

I think they're getting SSH confused with SSL... SSH is not available on free hosting accounts for security reasons.

Yep, I'm mixing those two up.
