SSH DigitalOcean is a secure remote access tool that allows you to connect to DigitalOcean servers. You can use SSH to access your server from any computer with an internet connection.

You can also use SSH to remotely manage your server.

To access your server using SSH, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal on your computer.

2. Type the following command to connect to your server using SSH:

ssh user@server

3. Enter your server’s password when prompted.

4. If you are using a public server, make sure to change the remote_user and remote_password values in the following command to match the values in your server’s user account and password file, respectively.

ssh user@server -p remote_user=user_name -p remote_password=password

5. To disconnect from your server, type the following command:

logout

6. If you have added a public key to your server, you can automatically log in using that key the next time you connect. To do this, add the following command to your shell’s startup file:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

7. To open a new window in your terminal to continue working on your server, type the following command:

nano -w /path/to/project.sh

Conclusion

SSH DigitalOcean is a powerful remote access tool that allows you to easily connect to your DigitalOcean server from any computer with an internet connection. You can use SSH to manage your server, and to access your server’s files and data.
