How to Connect via SSH

Are you looking for a way to connect or access your account remotely through SSH? So here is how to connect via SSH and access from anywhere in the world. For those who don’t know what SSH is, It is a network protocol that allows you to securely connect to your server and access your account from anywhere on the planet.

Here is a very step-by-step easily explained steps on how you can log in to your account via SSH on Windows, Linux, and Mobile Phones.

How to Connect via SSH from Windows

  1. Firstly you will need to download and install an SHH client or open Command Prompt on your computer. The best Terminal in my opinion is Tabby.
  2. Now visit your hosting panel, and enable SSH Access. Then copy the SSH information provided.
    enable SSH Access
  3. Now copy the information and open the terminal and copy paste the command below replacing it with your details.
    create new connection for connecting ssh
    • ssh -p port username@ipaddress
  4. Then you will need to enter the password. (Note the password will be not shown as you have typed.)
    logged in and connect using ssh from windows

That’s it you successfully logged in to your account using SSH now you can easily perform various tasks from SSH. Be sure to use the exit command after you are done using the SSH to securely terminate the connection.

How to Connect via SSH from Linux

Connecting to your account via SSH from Linux doesn’t require any SSH client you can simply use the built-in Terminal for the whole process.

  1. Open the terminal and type in ssh -p port username@ipaddress. “Be sure to replace the information.”
  2. If you are connecting for the first time you will need to confirm and type “yes” to continue.
  3. Now enter the password, Also the password will not be displayed as you type for security reasons.
  4. Now you will be successfully logged in.

You can also use this command with your details if your hosting provider/server does not require any port ssh username@hostname .
