Toggle the SYCHRONIZATION switch to the ‘off’ position to disable syncing.Click on the ACCOUNT option in the menu.This will bring you to a screen with a menu running down the left hand side of the Termius window. Click the “gear” icon on the upper left.If you’re not comfortable with this you can disable syncing as follows: But that means you are depending on Termius’ encryption to keep your keys secure. With syncing turned on, your keys are encrypted and uploaded to the Termius servers so that you can use them on any machine where you install Termius including your phones and tablets. Just download the version for your operating system, install it and go through the on-boarding process (which usually requires setting up a Termius account).Īfter installation, we recommend that you DISABLE syncing of your keys in Termius. Download links for the various operating systems are usually in the footer of the Termius website. In our opinion the easiest app with a GUI is TERMIUS. So it’s easier if you can use an app with a GUI (graphical user interface). However, if you’re reading this document then we’ll assume you’re newer to ssh. And, most operating systems today include an SSH client that can be accessed via the command line using an ‘ssh’ command. There are many such as Putty, Bitvise and Termius. Now that you have your user name and private key, you need an SSH client / software. There is usually a field where you entered your private key for the root user for the server.
Your private key is in the WPCLOUDDEPLOY->SETTINGS->CLOUD PROVIDERS tab. Other services might have unique user names:
The ‘root’ user name for your server – usually this is ‘root’ or ‘ubuntu’ but can be something different (eg: when using Google Cloud or Azure).įor most providers, the user name is root.Ĭertain providers such as EC2 & Lightsail use the ubuntu user. To enable password-less access with SSH you will need to generate an SSH key.Sometimes, the only way to get something accomplished is via the command line. In some cases it may be preferable to access your Raspberry Pi from another computer without a password, such as to (automatically) send files using rsync (follow the guide here). When using SSH, each time you connect you will be asked for the password of your Raspberry Pi. Several good quality clients are available, of which I recommend Termius ( ), an application that is availble for both iOS and Android. Now click Open and a new terminal window should appear prompting you for a user name.įinally, it is also possible to use SSH on your mobile device. Now launch PuTTY, set the Host Name (or IP address) field, Port to 22, and Connection type should be set to SSH. Go to, download the 64-bit MSI (Windows Installer), and open it to run the installer. On other Windows installations you may need to install an SSH client, of which PuTTY is the most commonly used. To enable ssh on a Windows 10 computer, make sure it has the October 2018 Update or later and go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Manage optional features > Add a feature, and choose to install OpenSSH Client. SSH is standard available on Linux distributions and on Mac so should work automatically. To know the ip address, on your Raspbery Pi type in: Now SSH is enabled, we need to know the hostname of the Raspberry Pi or use its IP address to connect to it. If you want SSH to be enabled upon first boot, such as for a headless installation, follow this short guide. Now with the arrows select Interfacing Options, navigate to and select SSH, choose Yes, and select Ok. To enable SSH via the terminal, open a terminal window and enter sudo raspi-config. Now click on Interfaces and click enable next to SSH and click OK. To enable SSH via the Desktop, go to the start menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration. It is however very easy to enable it, both using the Desktop and via the terminal. Enable SSH on the Raspberry Piīy default, SSH is disabled on the Raspberry Pi. 
If this is needed, I recommend to use VNC. SSH does not provide any visual access to the Raspberry Pi Desktop. SSH is pre-installed on Linux, Mac and some Windows operating systems and can also be installed on mobile devices. This is very handy for quickly installing software or editing configuration files. Secure Shell (SSH) enables you to access the command line of a Raspberry Pi from another computer or device on the same network. However, there are also various ways to command the Raspberry Pi remotely, of which SSH is one of the best and often used. The Raspberry Pi can be controlled like any other Desktop computer using a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
