I finally got a new VPS set up and Centos Web Panel installed but struggled to connect my Cpanel Server to the cwpanel.

Here is a straightforward way (Firstly you must have WHM access)

Login to WHM

• navigate to development or search API Tokens
• Then click Manage API Tokens
• Click Generate token
• Name the API token
• Click, every section, as well as everything – All features All
• Click Save
• On the next page, copy the API token and keep safe
• Continue and Save

Login to CWPanel

• Navigate to User Accounts
• Choose Cpanel Server Migration from the list
• Input your Server IP,
• User
• Password
• Port ssh
• API key you generated
• and select option 1 under Maximum simultaneous transfers
• Click Test and Save

When I got to this stage I got the following error “connection not reached The following error occurred”.

When I got to this stage I got the following error “connection not reached The following error occurred”.

The correct ssh port is very important to solve this error and here is how to get it:

# ssh root@0.0.0.00  (input root@ipaddress)

I got the following feedback
ssh: connect to host 41.204.199.138 port 22: Connection refused (many providers have changed their port so you need to get the correct one)

use this command to list the correct IP
