Authored by: Rose Contreras If you use MacOS® X, you don’t need to install a third-party client like PuTTY to connect to your cloud server by using Secure Shell (SSH). Terminal is a terminal emulation program included with MacOS X that you can use to run SSH.

Note: For the corresponding steps for an OnMetal server, see. Connect to the server These instructions are for users who are connecting to a new Cloud Server for the first time. If you’re connecting as a non-root user, replace root in the instructions with your username. Go to Applications Utilities, and then open Terminal. A Terminal window displays the following prompt: user00241 in MKD1JTF1G3-$.

Establish an SSH connection to the server by using the following syntax: ssh root@IPaddress The following code block uses an example value: MKD1JTF1G3-$ ssh root@166.76.69.51 The first time that you connect to your server, a message asks you if you want to continue connecting. This message appears because your server has an RSA key that’s not stored in your system registry. As a result, the identity of the key can’t be verified. The authenticity of host '198.61.208.131 (198.61.208.131)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 47:ff:76:b4:211:0f:11:15:21:bd:92:2f:44:0a:d9:0a. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?.

Type yes and press Enter. This action adds the RSA key to the list of known hosts so that you don’t see this warning again when you make future connections. Enter the root password for the server.

The password does not echo to the screen.
