Server Connection Guide

Learn how to connect to your server from Windows and macOS.

What Is an SSH Key?

An SSH key lets you connect to your server more securely, without typing a password. It consists of two files: a private key and a public key. The private key stays with you; you can add the public key to your account.

To create a key, open Terminal (macOS) or PowerShell (Windows) and type:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519

To view your public key:

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Share only the contents of the .pub file. Never share your private key.

macOS

Open the Terminal app.
Run the following command with your IP address:
```
ssh root@IP_ADRESINIZ
```
Type yes when asked on the first connection.

Windows

Open PowerShell from the Start menu.
Run the following command with your IP address:
```
ssh root@IP_ADRESINIZ
```
Type yes when asked on the first connection.

Preparing a Volume for Use

The volume is attached to your server formatted as ext4. You can find the device path on your server page. To mount it:

mkdir -p /mnt/ekdisk
mount -o discard,defaults AYGIT_YOLU /mnt/ekdisk

To have it mounted after a restart as well, add the same details to /etc/fstab.
