To connect via SSH, install or activate a software according to the operating system:

• Terminal (application already integrated into macOS and Linux)

• Windows 10 SSH Client (help in French / in English)

Then execute the following command:
 

ssh username@server

• Username being the FTP account username

To find out which command is available and to know the path to use, type the "whereis" command:

$ whereis mysql
mysql: /opt/mysql/bin/mysql
