Access credentials

When a server is deployed or reinstalled, a section on the server overview page is shown with the username and password that was set for your server. Use that, along with the public IP address, to gain access to your server for the first time. If you didn’t deploy with an SSH key you’ll be prompted to change your password when logging in for the first time. Server credentials section on the dashboard

Linux

The default SSH TCP port for Linux servers is 22. Root access is disabled by default so you first need to log in with the provided username and then sudo to root. To find your server credentials, go to the server overview page. You should be able to copy and paste the command to access your server. As a security measure, Latitude.sh will force you to change the password on the first login. On Windows, you can either use WSL and log in using the command from the overview page or install an application that allows you to connect via SSH. The most popular one is PuttY.
