PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with SSH or Hostgator, we recommend that you contact our support team for assistance. SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that allows you to securely connect to a remote server. This guide will show you how to connect to your Hostgator account using SSH.

After you have entered your key information, you will be presented with a list of servers. Click on the “SSH to HostGator” link next to the server you want to connect to. You will be prompted to enter your HostGator username and password again. After you have logged in, you will be presented with the “Remote Desktop” window. You will now be able to access all of the files and resources on the HostGator server. To disconnect from the Remote Desktop window, simply close it.
