Connecting to a server via the Termius SSH client

What you need to use Termius

  • Password

If you don't have these details, you can find them using these instructions.


Quick connection via Termius

  1. Download Termius: termius.com/download
  2. Install and launch it
  3. Click New Host
  4. Enter:
    • Hostname: the server's IP address
    • Username: the username
    • Password: your password
  5. Click Connect
  6. On the first connection, select Add as new – this is a security check

Once connected, you will find yourself in your server's console.


Connection security

For better security, we recommend using SSH keys instead of a password:

bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Add the public key to the control panel so you can connect without a password.


Troubleshooting

If you can't connect:

  • Check that the IP, login and password are correct
  • Make sure port 22 is open
  • Check whether the SSH service is running
  • Make sure you are using the correct keyboard layout when entering the password
