How do I know if my account has permission?

[Twey]

If you don't, you'll try to log in and it'll say "permission denied."

What is my port #

[Twey]

I've no idea. The default is 22. It should tell you how to access your account on the welcome letter, but not all hosts even provide SSH access.

FTP was simpler, you know.

[benslayton]

I just contact the people with the server they said I do not have ssh access. does the mailbox that you suggested have to have SSH access? If it does do you know of one without that?

[Twey]

does the mailbox that you suggested have to have SSH access?

None of them do.

[benslayton]

So I do I get just a basic Mailbox like yahoo/Gmail or something?

• Download Horde IMP.
• Extract, then upload (or upload, then extract if your host allows you to).
• Access.
