Connect through SSH and SFTP

Before connecting

Browser terminal

1. Open Shell Access

   Select the correct shell, open Shell Access and enter your shell password.

2. Connect and focus

   Click Connect to shell, then click inside the terminal and type at the visible prompt. The dashboard password is not the SSH password.

3. Finish deliberately

   Use Disconnect when finished. A normal foreground program can stop when its SSH session ends; use an approved persistent session for work that must stay attached elsewhere.

SSH from your computer

Open a terminal such as PowerShell, Windows Terminal, macOS Terminal or a Linux terminal and run:

ssh YOUR_USERNAME@shells.darkworld.network

The shared login host is shells.darkworld.network. Use the SSH port shown in your dashboard; the command above uses the standard SSH port. A personal website address or application listener port is a different service. On a first connection, verify the server host-key fingerprint through a trusted staff channel before accepting it. Do not dismiss a changed-host-key warning without checking.

Transfer files with SFTP

sftp YOUR_USERNAME@shells.darkworld.network

For a desktop file client, select SFTP, enter the shared host and your shell username, then use the shell password or an authorised SSH key. Do not select plain FTP. Upload website content into public_html and keep private files outside it.

pwd
ls
cd public_html
put index.html
bye

These are example SFTP commands: inspect the current location before uploading; put index.html can replace an existing file. Keep a copy first.
