If you have chosen to create your server in 'Manual Install' mode, then the only way you will be able to access your Gandi server at the start is by using secure shell protocol (SSH).
SSH is a program that will let you log into any remote machine and execute commands on that machine from a distance in a way that is secure and encrypted.
Enter the ssh command and the name of your Gandi server username:
ssh yourname@123.123.123.123
You will then see:
The authenticity of host '123.123.123.123 (123.123.123.123)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Type yes and hit return
Warning: Permanently added '123.123.123.123' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. yourname@123.123.123.123's password:
…and enter your password. If the password is correct, then you will have successfully connected to your Gandi server.
You will then be able to work securely on your Gandi server from your home or office computer.
