Remote SSH Connection​

SSH, or Secure Shell, is a secure network protocol used for remote access and communication between computers. Even over unsecured networks like the Internet, SSH ensures the encrypted transmission of data, making it a reliable choice for remote system and application management.

  3. Select Connect via SSH, triggering the Connect remote device via SSH modal.
  4. Copy the SSH command by clicking the Copy icon.
  5. Open a new terminal.
  6. Paste the copied SSH command. If using ctrl+v encounters issues, right-click in the terminal and select paste.
  7. Replace [USERNAME] with your client device's username.
  8. Execute the command.
  9. Enter the password for your client device's user when prompted.
  10. Confirm the SSH connection's success by checking the username at the command line, matching the connected device's user.

Remote Desktop Connection​
