What is SSH?
SSH is a communication protocol that allows you to remotely connect to a remote server terminal. So you can connect to your server's terminal and use it as if you were sitting next to it.
Connection on Windows using openssh
In newer versions of Microsoft Windows 10, there is an openssh client that can be used to connect to SSH 1) Run the command prompt from the start menu by searching for "cmd" 2) Enter a command in the format ssh user@hostname -p port 3) Export ssh keys from the server. Use Open panel -> Plugins -> plugins from the official list (plugins.tiligus.com) -> SSH Key viewer -> INSTALL PLUGIN -> select the server you want to connect to
And we have the exported keys 🎉 5) Let's copy the password from the dashboard to the command line, but beware, it is inserted into the command line in windows with the right mouse button and in openssh it is not possible to see that you have entered password, so simply right click and press enter, hopefully you will succeed 😃 6) And you're done, you can enjoy SSH.
Connection on Windows using PuTTY
In older versions of Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 8/7 there is no openssh client, so you have to use some other SSH client. So one of the most used SSH clients on Windows is PuTTY, so you can also use it to SSH into your server 2) Enter the hostname and port 3) Export ssh keys from the server. Use Open panel -> Plugins -> plugins from the official list (plugins.tiligus.com) -> SSH Key viewer -> INSTALL PLUGIN -> select the server you want to connect to
And we have the exported keys 🎉 5) In the login as field type the username, then press enter and copy the password from the dashboard to PuTTY, but beware that pasting PuTTY in putty is done by right click into PuTTY and you can't see password you've pasted, so just right click and press enter, hopefully you'll get it right 😃 6) And you're done, you can enjoy SSH.
Connection on linux
With Linux, this probably doesn't need much explanation, as most users of Linux based os have a basic understanding of terminal and ssh. The vast majority of Linux distributions have the openssh client pre-installed, so we can use it. 1) Let's start any terminal and enter a command in the format user@hostname -p port 2) Export ssh keys from the server. Use Open panel -> Plugins -> plugins from the official list (plugins.tiligus.com) -> SSH Key viewer -> INSTALL PLUGIN -> select the server you want to connect to
And we have the exported keys 🎉 hopefully you'll excuse the windows video 4) You can copy the SSH password and paste it into the terminal, hit enter and you can enjoy SSH
