Step 2 – Prepare the application
Based on the OS you are using on your laptop or desktop, the next step will require you to either open a Terminal or an SSH client.
If using linux OS click on the shortcut keys Click Ctrl + Alt + T or Search → Terminal on your start key.
If using Mac OS go to Spotlight search for Terminal.
If using Windows Download and install an SSH client. We recommend using PuTTY. Alternatively, you can use the inbuilt windows powershell.
Step 3 – Connect
Using linux OS (ubuntu linux desktop).
Open your terminal then type the command as below.
ssh root@yourvpsserverip
Click enter > you will be prompted to verify authenticity of host type ‘yes’ to accept > you will be requested to fill in your password which should be hidden while typing, type in the correct password then hit ‘Enter’ key to login.
After successful login you then you should see “[root@VPS username [~]#
Using inbuilt windows powershell application. (Window 10 desktop).
This is the easy way to connect to vps via ssh in windows as it comes with an ssh client already installed, We will use the same command as used in the linux OS.
ssh root@yourvpsserverip
