Connect with SSH

2min
You can manage your instance using a terminal and SSH. You can either use an SSH client or connect to it directly via your terminal.
To log in to your instance with SSH, you will need some basic information regarding your instance:
IP Address of your Instance
Default Username of the Instance
If you aren't using an SSH Key, you will need the Default Password of your instance (which can be found on Virtual Machine Overview)
The IP Address of your Instance is displayed on the card of your Instance after you have created it. You can hover over it to copy it.

More information about your Instance can be found on Virtual Machine Overview, which can be accessed by clicking on the name displayed on the Virtual Machine card.

Connecting to Your Instance Using the Terminal
To connect to your instance via SSH using the terminal, follow these steps:
Open your terminal:
On Windows, you can use Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Git Bash.
On macOS and Linux, you can use the default terminal.
Use the SSH command:
If you have an SSH key added to your instance, use the following command ssh [username]@[public_ip_address]
If you are using a password, use the following command:                                  ssh -i /path/to/your/private/key [username]@[public_ip_address]
﻿
Example:
If your instance username is root and the IP address is 192.168.1.1, the command would be: ssh [email protected]
By following these steps, you can securely connect to your instance using SSH.
