Connecting via SSH

totc · August 16th, 2007, 8:54 PM

I've been wanting to log in to my server via SSH because of suspicious activity i figured I'd check out the logs.
But i've never been able to log in.. I don't know if Surpass uses a different port (22?) or I have to download the RSA key..
I see a guide on SSH and security on top, but it skips the actual "how do you connect" part.

Anyways I bet someone can help me out..

PS. using Putty

IP Address + Port 22 should work fine.

Make sure you use:

username: root
password: root_pw

If you're not able to log into your dedi via ssh with that information please submit a ticket because something aint right!

If you're trying to ssh to your shared reseller you need to request access from the sales team in our support desk.

Yes its my dedi box..
That just gives me a Connection Timed Out error
I can't even input a user name

Hmm.. I'm on a shared server with SSH access and I'm connecting via my domain name and a completely different port than 22. Maybe shared servers use different ports than others. Just using what Surpass told me to connect with.

Yes, shared servers are set up to a different port. Dedicated servers are set to the default port or whatever port that is requested.

I can SSH in just fine to your server on port 22. I used our key and not the password, but it still works fine on my end.

from command line

Quote:

ssh -l <username> <servername_or_ip_address>

From Putty, just fill in the server name or ip address in the box and click go or connect. It defaults to port 22

do you have a personal firewall in place?

my fault..
router had port 22 filtered as a private port. :x
