SSH & SFTP Access
For SSH and SFTP access, you can add SSH keys to individual sites via SSH. If you have not yet generated SSH keys, you can follow our guide here. Once a key has been added to a site, you can use it to authenticate using your Terminal or an SFTP client such as Filezilla.User structure
Each Cito site has it’s own system user and home directory. This is generally relative to/home.
When working on individual sites, you should switch to that user using sudo su - <username>. You can also SSH in directly as a user.
Deployments that use CI systems should ensure they log in as the site user, not admin. This is to avoid any permissions issues during deployment.
You can use the pslist command to view a list of websites with their corresponding usernames and home directories.
