Connecting from a Linux or Mac machine
If the computer you are using to connect to your VM has a Linux or Mac operating system, use the following instructions to connect to your VM. Otherwise skip down to the next section to connect with a Windows computer.
Open a terminal and input the following command:
[name@server ~]$ ssh -i /path/where/your/private/key/is/my_key.key <user name>@<public IP of your server>
where <user name> is the name of the user connecting and <public IP of your VM> is the public IP you associated with your VM in the previous step. The default user name depends on the image.
| Image distribution name | <user name>
|
|---|---|
| Debian | debian |
| Ubuntu | ubuntu |
| CentOS | centos |
| Fedora | fedora |
| AlmaLinux | almalinux |
| Rocky | rocky |
These default users have full sudo privileges. Connecting directly to the root account via SSH is disabled.
