How to Login to Your Server via SSH

Follow this guide to securely access your VM using SSH.


1. Download Your Private Key

Before you can log in, download the private key from your service panel.

  1. Log in to your Client Area.



  2. Navigate to your VM service.
  3. Click Download Private Key.

Save the file (e.g., xxxx_private.rsa) to a safe location on your computer.


2. Connect to Your Server via SSH

Once the key is downloaded, open your terminal (macOS/Linux) or use Windows PowerShell.

Use the following command format:

ssh -i your_private_key.rsa USER@SERVER_IP

Replace:

  • your_private_key.rsa → the key you downloaded
  • USER → the username shown in the SSH instruction
  • SERVER_IP → your server’s primary IP

Example:

ssh -i 5769_private.rsa [email protected]

If you attempt login as root, you may receive a message recommending login as a different user.
Please follow the suggested username shown in the panel.

 


Tips

  • Ensure your key file has proper permissions:
  • For Windows (PuTTY users), convert the key to .ppk using PuTTYgen.
  • Never share your private key with anyone.
chmod 600 your_private_key.rsa
