Creating a Liquid Web Cloud API Token in the my.liquidweb.com Interface
Liquid Web’s Cloud has a robust Application Programming Interface (API) that allows for accessing your account from outside the my.liquidweb.com interface. For example, the API can be used to manage and integrate many things directly into your cloud infrastructure. Ranging from the Liquid Web Command Line Interface (LW CLI) utility, our Terraform infrastructure-as-code (IaC) provider, to the Web Host Manager Complete Solution (WHMCS), — the list is endless.
Using the Liquid Web Command Line Interface (LW CLI)
What is the Liquid Web Command Line Interface (LW CLI)?
This is the official command line interface for the Liquid Web API. CLI stands for the “command line interface” which is used for interacting with multiple Liquid Web services via the Liquid Web’s Public API.
What is OpenSSH?
OpenSSH is an open-source utility developed by The OpenBSD Project. SSH stands for "Secure SHell." This service encrypts traffic on both ends, eliminating security risks from hackers or eavesdroppers. It can be used for remote operations like file transfers and offers key-based passwordless authentication. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to harness the power of SSH's on your Windows server to send basic remote commands and transfer files using password authentication.
