# How do I enable and disable SSH (Secure SHell) access?

We do allow limited command-line shell access via a caged environment. The SSH port for our servers is 722.

||| Please note our Amethyst plan does not include SSH access - all other cloud and business plans do allow you to enable/disable SSH yourself.

### Cloud, Premium & Business accounts

1.  For cloud or business users you can enable SSH via your [Krystal Client Area](https://krystal.uk/client) by logging in, then selecting the **My Services** options.

2.  Next select click **Manage** on the account for which you wish to enable SSH.

3.  Then click **Enable SSH** in the right-hand menu.

4.  You'll see a success banner confirming SSH has been enabled. The menu option now also changes to **Disable SSH**.

|| You do not need full shell access in order to use SFTP. SFTP is available to everyone by default.

##### Disabling SSH

Re-visit **My Services > Select a package > Manage** and click **Disable SSH** - as seen in Step 4 above.

### Reseller accounts

Having Enabled SSH on your reseller package you can now create [WHM Packages with SSH enabled](/reseller-guides/managing-whm-packages) that you can assign to users.
