Step 1 – Application

You can use Terminal for SSH connection To run it, click Ctrl + Alt + T or Search → Terminal | You can use Terminal for SSH connection To run it, search for Terminal in Spotlight | You can use any SSH client available such as PuTTY or Terminal. We recommend simply using PowerShell or Terminal/CMD (Search in Start Menu). |
Step 2 – Connection
In the case of Terminal or CMD, use the SSH command, user@server.hostname -p 8926.
For PuTTY, insert the parameters in the application.
To find your server hostname, username, and password, go to the “Login Details” page in your SiteCountry dashboard; let’s see how to do that:
So, based on the above screenshot, the SSH connection command will be:
mydomain@copper.scnservers.net -p 8926
In both cases, you will see the result like this:
The authenticity of host '[copper.scnservers.net]:8926 ([copper.scnservers.net]:8926)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:Eze2ImXw1MWfgAMbcWxfc2EQwAkgTHOEPsNwSnEAHAQ.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
This is an expected result; just type yes.
Then you will be asked to insert the password:
mydomain@copper.scnservers.net's password:NOTES:
- For security purposes, the password won’t be displayed, even as •••••, but data is still inserted. Don’t worry about not seeing symbols; insert the password and press Enter
- Password can be copied and pasted with the right-click of a computer mouse. In Windows, it inserts the password immediately; in Linux – opens a menu with actions
As soon as you insert the password and press Enter, you will see this text from the next line:
-bash-4.2$It means that you successfully logged into your account via SSH 🎉
