Note that not all shared hosting providers offers SSH access. Check whether you have a working "SSH Access" section in your cPanel. If it is available, you need to generate an SSH key first, upload the public key to your hosting and enable it for SSH access.

You can generate keys on local linux computer using ssh-keygen -t dsa here you will get public and privates keys generated You need to copy the pub key to server to ssh without password to server

what you mean by copy? import the pub.key to cpanel? or ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub name@url name= cpanel login name url = my url website [or ip] that's correct? and what do you mean in "without password to serrver" no paraphrase after ssh-keygen -t dsa command ?

If your hosting account supports SSH, you can run the following command in your Ubuntu terminal: # ssh -p port_number user_cpanel_user@server_IP You only need to use -p port_number if it is different then port 22.
