Using this function, you can administer the system remotely with the SSH (Secure SHell) protocol.

Default user is ''''cli'''' and cannot be changed - however, you can change the password.

;Allow IP
:You can assign IP addresses (separated by a semicolon) which are granted  access to server configuration. Empty field means no restriction.
;Set port
:Default port is 22223 for security reasons, because high ports are invisible to port scanners. You can change it to any port within the 1024-65535 range, except for the ports which are already used.
;Password
:Minimum password length is 5 characters. Be sure to use strong passwords.
;Confirm password
:Please retype your new password.

Passwords cannot contain:

*special characters: ' " ` ^ & $ # [ ] \/ | *,
*spaces.

Example syntax of an SSH command:<br/>'''ssh -2 -p 22223 -l cli ip_address command'''

*option: '''-2''' sets the version of the ssh protocol used for the connection,
*option: '''-p''' sets the connection port,
*option: '''-l''' sets the user (the user must be '''cli'''),
*option: '''ip_address''' sets the address of the server you want to connect to,
*option: '''command'''; use '''help''' to display all available commands.

You will be asked for the password you entered in the CLI/API configuration menu.

It is also possible to authenticate without a password by using the key generated after clicking '''generate and download''', or downloading a previously generated key by clicking '''download'''.On GNU/Linux systems make sure that the key file has read only rights for the owner (400).

Example syntax of an SSH command using a key:<br/>'''ssh -i path_to_the_downloaded_key -2 -p 22223 -l cli ip_address command'''

*option: '''-i''' sets the path to the downloaded key file,
*option: '''-2''' sets the version of the SSH protocol used for the connection,
*option: '''-p''' sets the connection port (default: 22223),
*option: '''-l''' sets the user (the user must be '''cli'''),
*option: '''ip_address''' sets the IP address of the storage server you want to connect to,
*option: '''command'''; use 'help' to show all available commands.

'''Note'''
Every time the '''generate and download''' button is pressed, it generates a new key and the old key expires.
