Once the server has been created, you will have access to it via SSH. Administrative tasks must be performed by this type of connection as long as your server has an IP Address and is operational.

Macintosh and Linux users can simply connect via SSH by a shell window. For Macintosh, just open the "Terminal" application.

Windows users must download and install a program called PuTTY.

If your IP address is 123.123.123.123 and if you want to access your server via SSH, then you would use the following command:

ssh login@123.123.123.123

Replace the word "login" in the above examples by the username that you specified when you created your server.

The password that you provide will be the one that you chose for this username.

For security reasons, we have deactivated the ability to log in directly as root to your server via SSH. To login as root, you first need to log in as the user that you defined when you created your server. Then, once you are logged in, type:

su -

The password is the one that you specified when you created your Gandi expert server, or that you defined when you activated "root" access when leaving Gandi AI.
