# SSH

> Connect using the exact credentials supplied for your deployment.

Wait until the deployment is active and its access details are ready. Do not guess the username, host, or port.

## Private-key access

Save the supplied key attachment securely. On macOS or Linux, replace each example value with the details you received:

```bash theme={null}
chmod 600 /path/to/your-key.pem
ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem -p PORT USERNAME@HOST
```

Windows OpenSSH can use the same `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:

```bash theme={null}
scp -i /path/to/your-key.pem -P PORT -r USERNAME@HOST:/path/to/results ./results
```

`scp` uses uppercase `-P` for the port. See [common errors](/essentials/errors) if connecting fails.
