Use the PuTTY open-source SSH and Telnet client for Windows to securely connect to your remote servers from a local Windows computer.
You can download the PuTTY client from the PuTTY website and choose the Windows installer from the Package files list. After installation, you can start run the PuTTY.
Follow the steps below to connect to your Instance via putty.
On the PuTTY Configuration window,
enter the IP address Instance (verify from the nobus management console )
in the Host Name (or IP Address) field.
Ensure that the Port
is set to 22 and that the Connection type SSH is selected.
Click on SSH in the left sidebar (under Connection). Ensure that the radio button with 2 is selected for SSH protocol version.
In case you had already created an SSH key pair, then click the Auth part. Leave this part if you intend to use a username and password to connect to your Instance.
In the Private key file of the authentication part, click the Browse button.
Select your private key file, with the .ppk extention, and click “Open” in the file window.
To add a username, goto the Connection in the Data
configuration section,
enter your server's username in the Auto-login username field. By default, this should be the
root user for centos and ubuntu. If you're using CoreOS, Rancher, or FreeBSD,
the username is core, rancher, or freebsd instead of root, respectively.
You can save your inputs to avoid typing them again in the future. Click on Session in the left sidebar, then add a name in the text box under Saved Sessions and click Save.
You are now ready to connect to the Instance.
Goto the Session window, the choose the session you would like to use in the Saved Sessions section, and clicking Load to see the saved data automatically.
The first time you connect to the Instance, PuTTY will prompt you to confirm the authenticity of your server. Choose Yes to save the server identity in PuTTY's cache or No to connect without saving the identity.
Input the root password of the Instance. If you uploaded SSH keys, are either connected directly or prompted for the key pass phrase you set at the time of creating keypair.
You can now connect to your instance when authentication is accepted
