Logging In to a BMS Using an SSH Password¶
Scenarios¶
This section describes how to log in to a Linux BMS using an SSH password from a Windows or Linux PC.
Prerequisites¶
The BMS must be in Running state.
You have bound an EIP to the BMS. For details, see Binding an EIP to a BMS.
You have configured the inbound rules of the security group. For details, see Adding Security Group Rules.
The network connection between the login tool (such as PuTTY) and the target BMS is normal. For example, the default port 22 is not blocked by the firewall.
By default, login to a Linux BMS using an SSH password is disabled. If you want to use this function, log in to the BMS (see Logging In to a BMS Using an SSH Key Pair) and enable the function. For details, see How Do I Set SSH Configuration Items?
