I saw an announcement back in June 2003 stating that SSH was no longer turned on for Linux accounts. Is this still true or would I be able to get at least jailed SSH access?
Jailed SSH access is an upcominh feature that will be available soon (its under development by PSOFT). In the meantime, no form of SSH access is available. You'd need a VPS account for that
we however of course can perform any action for you on your account that you would like to do via SSH. Just open a ticket
