How to SSH into your Linux Shell™ from a SSH-enabled Windows device.

Instead of accessing your Shell™ from a browser, you also have the option to SSH into your Shell™ from any device that supports SSH tools. For this example, I'll be using my personal desktop running Windows 10 to SSH into my Ubuntu 20.04 Shell™.

First, we need the IP address of our Shell™, the username of our Shell™, and our Shell™'s port number that is open for SSH. The IP address and port number can both be found on the Shell™ console by going to console.shells.com -> Your Shells™ -> EDIT for the shell that you'd like to SSH into:

The IP address is Host;

Next, open up Windows Powershell. An application should run that looks similar to this:

In Powershell, run the following command:

ssh username@ip_address -p port_number

where username is the username associated with your specific Shell™, ip_address is the IP address of your Shell™, and port_number is the port number associated with SSH for your specific Shell™.

Using the information from the first image that had my Shell™ info, my Powershell command would look like this:

ssh bduong@xx.xxx.xxx.xx -p 17287

Doing this correctly should prompt you to input the password for your Shell™:

Input the password for your Shell™, and you should be greeted with a screen similar to this: 

Congratulations! You've used SSH to remotely connect to your Ubuntu Shell™. Note that this process is roughly the same if you were to remotely connect to your Shell™ from a Linux device as well.
