Private-key access
Save the supplied key attachment securely. On macOS or Linux, replace each example value with the details you received:ssh -i command; restrict the key file’s permissions to your own account.
If the supplied access details use a password instead, connect with ssh -p PORT USERNAME@HOST and enter it at the prompt. Never put a password in a shell command or screenshot.
Host verification
Verify an unfamiliar host fingerprint through a trusted channel before accepting it. A host-key-change warning can indicate a different machine or interception. Do not disable host-key checking to get past it.Before the rental ends
Copy results to storage you control. For key-based access:scp uses uppercase -P for the port. See common errors if connecting fails.
