No web Files/Folders when SSH in - why?

[AndyHestia]

Hi,

when logging into my server via SSH, I cannot find the folders, that contain all the websites running on Hestia.

(as opposed to Hestia’s file manager, when you login via web)

Why is that?

Btw I login using ‘ubuntu’ as user. - Should I try to SSH in as root?
I’d try to avoid that.

Thanks for clarification,
Andreas

Hi @AndyHestia,

If ubuntu is not a user added to Hestia, then you won’t see any domains because your domains have been added to other user (or users). You must login via ssh with the user assigned to your domains. By default you will only be able to login using sftp but not ssh, to login using ssh add a shell to the user:

v-change-user-shell YourUser bash

Or via Web UI, login as admin → edit the user you want to modify → advanced options → on SSH access, change nologin to bash and Save.

Thanks a lot!

That has cleared out some of my questions.

I guess I will also have to add my public ssh key to the user?

That’s right
