4. Set up accounts
Next we set up an account for backup / mirroring. The account must be hosted on one of the hosts already defined.
Important warning: This setup creates a remote-access key for each account, allowing login without password. If anyone were to get access to your ClonePanel account they would also be able to read and write to all the remote accounts set up.
So, if you still want to go ahead (!) enter "./account add" and follow the prompts:
[tester@ACER scripts]$ ./account add

Enter host name (nickname): KATE
Enter account username: clonepan
Enter extra config options now (<Return> to finish).
Examples: REMOTEHOST_USERNAME=fred or MIRROR_DIR_WEB=public_html
(usually only needed on non-CPanel hosts or where username differs from one host to another):

If all goes as it should (indicated by the messages in green above) the account will be set up and ready to take backups. If not, first check that you have SSH access to the server you’re setting up and that you’re using the correct username and password. Then check the error code against the list in scripts/error_codes. If you have problems please post them here so that others can also see the answers.
