SSH, SFTP and database access

For developers and power users: full file access and secure database browsing, key-based only.

Turn it on

  1. Site → Access tab → enable SSH access.
  2. Add your SSH public key (usually ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub). No passwords, ever.

SFTP (files)

FileZilla/Cyberduck: protocol SFTP, plus the host, port and username shown on the tab. Your web root is where index.php lives.

Shell

ssh -p PORT user@host (exact values on the tab). You land in your site directory; php, composer and wp are available.

Browse your database

Your database only listens inside the container — nothing is exposed to the internet. The Database tab shows a one-line tunnel command; run it, then point TablePlus/DBeaver at 127.0.0.1 with the credentials from the same tab.
