Access to your new server as root

Note:

This access is only available in Expert mode, other server (like GandiAI) does not allow customer to access as root.

Once your new server is created, you can connect on :

login@<your_IP_address>

If your IP address on the network is 123.123.123.123, use : 

ssh login@123.123.123.123

It will ask you for a password. This password was setup during the creation process of your server on the Gandi website.

For security reason, direct root access are disable by default, you cannot directly use the root system user. You will have to connect with the user you setup in the creation process of the server. Then, to get the root access, use the su command. 

su root
(enter password)
