Mac OS X includes a command-line SSH client as part of the operating system. To use it, goto Finder, and selext Go - Utilities from the top menu. Then look for Terminal. Terminal can be used to get a local terminal window, and also supports SSH connections to remote servers.
- I have seen ways to open applications on linux and Mac devices but can't seem to get the same idea working for iOS devices. I have jailbroken my device and have ssh access and would like to open an app without having to visit the device? This idea but for iOS and to open a Kiosk app or Safari. Opening netbeans via SSH.

- Launch an SSH tunnel. To initiate your SSH tunnel, simply open Mac OSX Terminal.app and connect to your remote server via SSH with the following flags: ssh -D 8080 -C -N [email protected] This will launch our SSH tunnel on port 8080 and route all traffic (securely) through the server at example.com.

SSH is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. Kinsta provides SSH access on all of our hosting plans. SSH access allows you to log into a command prompt, perform common sysadmin tasks, and execute commands just as if you were sitting at the server itself. You can run additional tools such as Git, Composer, WP-CLI, etc.
If you’re on an Enterprise plan you can also use tools like npm.
Follow the directions below on how to connect to SSH on your WordPress site.
SSH should be used by advanced users only. Running improper commands via SSH could easily break your site. If you are not comfortable doing this, please check with a developer or our support first.
SSH Access Login Info
To connect to SSH you’ll need the following pieces of information:
- server address (IP address)
- username (SFTP Username, not your email address)
- password
- port (we take security seriously here at Kinsta, each site uses a different port)
Kinsta customers can find this information under the site’s Info tab within your MyKinsta dashboard (as seen below).

How to Connect to SSH on Windows
For those of you running Windows, you will need a terminal client to connect to SSH.
Step 1
We recommend downloading the free PuTTY client. Grab the .msi installer as this also includes PuTTYgen. If you want to use SSH keys later down the road, you will need this.
Step 2
Launch PuTTY and input your host name (Kinsta IP Address) and the unique port number. Then click “Open.”
Step 3
If this is your first time connecting you will most likely see a rsa2 key prompt. Go ahead and click “Yes” which will trust the host in the future.

Step 4
You will need to input your Kinsta username and press Enter.
Step 5
You will then be prompted to enter your password. Then press Enter.
Putty Password
You are now connected via SSH to your WordPress site.
You can then run commands such as “ls” or “cd” to list items and navigate throughout your site’s directory. WP-CLI is also installed by default on all sites.

Step 2
The default parameters should be fine in most configurations. Click on “Generate.”
Step 3
You will need to move your mouse around to generate some randomness.

Step 4
Save both your public (.txt) and private key (.ppk). Important: Keep your private key safe and don’t share it with anyone.
Step 5
Leave the PuTTY window open and skip down to where you add your public key to MyKinsta.
How to Generate SSH Key Pair on MAC/Linux
Step 1
Launch the Terminal from “Applications → Utilities → Terminal.”
Step 2
Use the following command to start the key generation.
Step 3
You will be prompted to choose a location to save your private key. If you simply leave it blank it will save it here:
Agenda app mac free app. The public key (.PUB) will get created in the same location.
