Can I access my Flywheel site via SSH?
Flywheel provides SSH access to sites on the Flywheel Cloud Platform. If you have one or more sites on the Flywheel Cloud Platform, check out how to Connect to Flywheel’s SSH Gateway.
At this time, if you have a site on one of our legacy servers, we only provide access via SFTP (see the help article: How do I access my site via SFTP?) and to the database via the Flywheel Database Manager (see the help article: Can I get access to my database?), which are also available to sites hosted on the Flywheel Cloud Platform.
If there is something that you typically would do via SSH that you would like to have done, in many cases Flywheel support can handle these for you. Contact Flywheel support if you have any questions.
