How to get linux console from WHM/cPanel

[sameerkumar15]

Hi everyone,

Can anybody tell me how can I get linux console( like /usr/appl/ ....) from WHM/cPanel. I want to ftp one zip file and extract it in linux from WHM.

Thanks in advance.

I'm rather new to cPanel too, however, sounds like you just want normal ssh access...right? Do you have root or other shell access to the server?

I have the root access, but not able to get the shell/command prompt.

What do you think about using a SSH client?

In WHM you can't find a option to get a console.

Ron, Thanks a ton... I am able to connect and got SSH using putty. Your suggestion is worth to me !

Thanks again.

You could also use cse from within WHM:

How could I forget this option but I don't think it is the tool for beginners. Correct me if I am wrong.

It's no more dangerous than using the root shell via SSH
