Login Instance

Operation Scenario

The edge cloud host provides three methods of remote login: VNC remote login, console SSH remote login, and local SSH login. If you cannot connect to the instance using remote connection software such as Xshell, you can try to log in to the instance through the remote login function of the console.

Prerequisite

• You have successfully created an instance and it is running normally.
• You have obtained the login information of the instance. If you forget the password, you can reset it on the console.
• For local SSH login, you need to pre-install remote connection software such as Xshell on your local machine.
