SSH

The CLI uses a WebSocket-backed session to open a real terminal against a VPS record.

Open A Session

skyport server ssh --id <vps-id>

What The SSH Client Can Do

The SSH implementation supports:

• interactive shells
• command execution
• file copy to the remote host
• file retrieval from the remote host
• host key verification when strict mode is enabled

Session Behavior

• Default port is 22 unless you override it.
• The client can use an SSH agent, a key file, or a password.
• Sessions are managed server-side, not in the browser alone.

Practical Workflow

1. Add the VPS record.
2. Test the connection.
3. Open the session from the CLI or dashboard.
4. Run the commands you need on the host.

Example Remote Commands

uname -a
docker ps
systemctl status skyport-server
