ssh to a web directory

ok i am trying to install something on one of my websites.. the only problem is i need ssh access to the directory and cant get access. does ispconfig support this?

 

ok yes i have it enabled. currently i am using a router, so when i connect to my server is use the internal address. i can connect with it this way but i get the following mesage:

Code:

Linux server1 2.6.12-9-386 #1 Mon Oct 10 13:14:36 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

and then it logs back out... i get this same problem outside my network.

 

With what username are you trying to connect? What's the output of

Code:

grep [I]username[/I] /etc/passwd

? Any errors on /var/log/auth.log?

 

where do you want me to enter that command? because the system logs me out...

 

when i entered

Code:

 grep username /etc/passwd 

i got

Code:

web18_username:x:10002:10018:name:/var/www/web18:/bin/false

 

You must replace username in

Code:

grep [I]username[/I] /etc/passwd

with the real username you use to log in.

 

that is what i got other than the "username" i changed it for security reasons.

 

i dont think thats the problem because this account is under the admin. but where can i check to make sure this client has thhose privalages?

i cant seem to find it?

 

ok so i can only find one shell checkbox. where do i find the other? i believe thats the one im missing...

 

thanks till! i found the problem.

by the way, i wasnt challenging you. i had never seen another check box somewhere else.

nice program, how long did it take to code?
