Hello Artisans.

This article goes into detail on How to connect a live server with SSH access (Hostinger). I’m going to show you how we can connect a live server with SSH CLI or Putty. In this article, we will see how we can connect the live server with the SSH CLI command and Putty.

We will see two ways to connect a live server with SSH let's see the first one

How to connect a live server with SSH CLI Command

Step-1: Enable SSH access from SSH tab

then it will ask you for a password. Type your password and press enter.

Note: 

• Password is your FTP account's password, which will have used here.
• When you type the password it will not show you anything but it's working don't worry.

after putting in your password, press enters to connect successfully with your server. Now you can do anything on your server.

Open puttygen, select the RSA radio button, and press generates button. After pressing generate button it will start creating key pairs and move the cursor on empty space to make some randomness in the key.

After the complete process, it will show you something like this. Just save this key as a public key by pressing Save public key and same as for saving private key just press Save private key and save it with any name.

add your public key on your server as shown below.

Step-3: Open Putty and connect with private key pair

Open putty and give required information just following as below
