We introduced SSH access on our hosting plans on 1 February 2023. This feature makes it easy for anyone who needs to run scripts on their web hosting to do so from the console access.
Connecting to the hosting server via SSH#
You can connect to the hosting server via SSH from the Plesk panel only. The connection procedure is detailed here.
Features available from SSH access#
SSH access lets you perform many actions on your hosting. Here are a few examples:
- Working on your hosting's file system (copying, deleting, moving, etc.)
- Running PHP scripts
- Running PHP Composer
- Running GIT commands
Available PHP versions#
You can run scripts with the PHP version of your choice:
- PHP 8.0 with the command: /opt/plesk/php/8.0/bin/php [SCRIPT]
- PHP 8.1 with the command: /opt/plesk/php/8.1/bin/php [SCRIPT]
- PHP 8.2 with the command: /opt/plesk/php/8.2/bin/php [SCRIPT]
- PHP 8.3 with the command: /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php [SCRIPT]
- PHP 8.4 with the command: /opt/plesk/php/8.4/bin/php [SCRIPT]
