Connect to SSD VPS

Connect to SSD VPS

Hostnet SSD serveri izmanto publiski pieejamos Cloud templeitus. Lai pieslēgtos pie instances, kas tiek palaista no šādas templeites, nepieciešams izmantot privāto SSH atslēgu.

SSH atslēga tiek ģenerēta pie instances izveidošanas un to iespējams lejupielādēt no payments.hostnet.lv sistēmas, sadaļas “Pakalpojumi” → “Opcijas”, nospiežot uz “Lejupielādēt Private Key”.

!!! When private key is downloaded, key is deleted from Hostnet system!

To connect from Mac or Linux machines to instance with key you should use command:

 $ ssh -i path_to_ssh_key root@servers_ip_address

For example:

 $ ssh -i 1825_private.rsa root@89.111.34.234

Some templates do not allow to connect as “root” user, if so, you will receive error message such as:

 Please login as the user "centos" rather than the user "root".

To connect as user from error message:

 $ ssh -i 1825_private.rsa centos@89.111.34.234

To connect from Windows machines using putty, will be necessary to regenerate RSA key to putty's used format. Details how to do that you can find: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/PuTTY-rsa-dsa-keys/
