In this video, I show you how to login via SSH on DreamHost shared hosting and access your website files securely. Basically, we’ll enable Secure Shell access from the DreamHost panel, grab the correct hostname and username from the “Login Info” section, and then connect using PuTTY (because on Windows, PuTTY is the easiest SSH client to start with). Once the SSH access is enabled, I also reset the password to a strong one, and then we connect on port 22. After login, I explain one very important security point: on DreamHost shared hosting, you don’t get full hosting/root access through this website user. You only get access to that specific user’s directory (like the website folder), which is perfect when you want to share access with a developer without giving them your full DreamHost panel or admin credentials. Then I quickly demonstrate basic terminal work—checking the directory, moving into the website folder, listing files, and even opening something like index.php—so you understand how SSH helps you manage website content fast and safely.
